Other Voices, Other Lives

More about the book

"Other Voices, Other Lives is a selection of poems, plays, and interviews drawn from over forty years of work by one of America's most beloved and influential women of letters. Grace Cavalieri writes of women's lives, loves, and work in a multitude of voices, alternately sassy, rebellious, seductive, grieving, and wise. Selections from her plays show her to be as insightful about men as she is about women, bringing both historical and contemporary characters into vivid life.

Her discussions with three poets, Robert Pinsky, Lucille Clifton, and Josephine Jacobsen, offer profound insights into the writing life, and show Cavalieri to be a master of the incisive interview"--
