Poems By Grace Cavalieri

Awards Day

She always wanted to make love to a clock so she'd know when to stop.
She always wanted to be standing in the limelight in a white satin dress,
no, make that a strapless dress. Now she was older and, no, make that
one with sleeves. She wanted to be a cat hiding in a tree to catch a bird.

Owning The Not So Distant World

Charles Rammelkamp review - Owning The Not So Distant World

Grace Cavalieri is by turns as sagacious and oblique as a Zen koan, her verses brimming with aphoristic wisdom, and also charmingly chatty, like your best friend in the world, oscillating between aloof and intimate but always appealing.

Reading Grace Cavalieri’s Owning The Not So Distant World

Cavalieri writes about the everyday world and shows us how the major themes--love, loss, memory, and the mystery future—inhabit the ordinary.
