Art is an organ of human life, transmitting one’s reasonable perception into feeling. A real work of art destroys, in the consciousness of the receiver, the separation between oneself and the artist. Founded twenty years ago by poet, memoirist, and clinical psychologist Joan Cusack Handler, CavanKerry Press has published fine literary work by established and emerging writers who explore the emotional and psychological aspects of what it is to be human through insightful, accessible writing. This unique collection features excerpts from each of the over 100 books in CavanKerry’s twenty-year publishing history and represents the deeply resonant writing for which the Press is known. Several authors in the CavanKerry library have gone on to find acclaim as poets laureate, Pushcart recipients, and winners of national prizes.
