Jill Bialosky; Living her Dream as a Poet, Writer, Executive Editor

“I wanted people to understand that poetry can be very accessible. A way for readers to find their own story in a poem, to demystify poetry.” Jill Bialosky on her memoir, “Poetry Will Save Your Life.” Mitchell and Jill talk about poetry, writing and being the executive editor at W.W. Norton & Company. She’ll also share her story on Joy Harjo, one of the early poets Bialosky took on, who is now the first Native American to be named U.S. Poet Laureate. This episode of The Literary Life with Mitchell Kaplan was recorded at the Coral Gables Art Cinema.
