Collection Information

Historical or Biographical Note

Grace Cavalieri, an award winning poet and playwright, lived for 25 years in Washington DC, and through her weekly radio program, "The Poet and the Poem," continues to be an important figure in the literary community of this city. She is the author of many books of poetry, including What I Would Do For Love (2004), Migrations (1995), New and Selected Poems (1994), Why I Cannot Take a Lover (1975), and Bliss (1986). She has had nineteen plays produced for stage and radio, including the off- Broadway production of "Getting Ready" at the WPA Theater. She published a major anthology of D.C Writers, The WPFW Writers Anthology, in 1992. Her drama, "Quilting the Sun," enjoyed a staged reading by its NYC cast at the Smithsonian Institution. She has written texts and lyrics for opera, authoring two productions, "String of Pearls," and "Migrations," and has written three radio dramas that received national broadcast.

Cavalieri was one of the founders of the Washington Writers Publishing House, and served on its editorial board from 1976 to 1986. She also runs her own small press, The Bunny and the Crocodile Press/Forest Woods Media Productions, Inc. She was an Associate Director of Programming at the Public Broadcasting System [PBS] for five years and then served as program officer of the media program at the National Endowment for the Humanities [NEH] from 1982-1988. She has lectured and taught throughout the country at several colleges and universities, and was, for 25 years, visiting poet at St. Mary's College of Maryland. She was resident writer at the Word Works annual retreat in Tuscany, 1996-2003.

This collection of sound recordings is directly related to the work Cavalieri has done with the radio station WPFW-FM. Cavalieri and a core staff opened this non-commercial radio station after being awarded a 3-year National Endowment for the Arts [NEA] Radio Development Grant in 1976. Cavalieri worked for the station as director of arts programming from 1976 to 1978, and as radio producer from 1976-85. She produced more than 100 programs in radio drama, poetry and arts criticism including "Poetry from the City," "Expressions," and "Writer's Workshop on the Air."

Cavalieri continues to work as a radio broadcaster at WPFW-FM, and is best known in the Washington literary community for her program "The Poet and the Poem," which has not missed a weekly broadcast since it began airing in 1977. This program airs every Sunday evening from 8-9 PM, and is distributed nationally through the Pacifica station network, which includes KPFA-FM/KPFB-FM Berkeley, California, KPFK-FM North Hollywood, California, and KPFT-FM Houston, Texas. Plans are underway to provide the program to all National Public Radio [NPR] stations via satellite.

Typically, "The Poet and the Poem" features poets who live in the Washington DC area and have become a part of the Washington literary community. Cavalieri has been committed to presenting the various cultural traditions of America on the program, and is particularly interested in the black literary community. The recordings of her programs includes a significant collection of African-American poets.

She has received many awards including the Pen-Syndicated Fiction Award, the Allen Ginsberg Poetry Award, Bordighera Poetry Award, Paterson Poetry Prize, The Witter Bynner Foundation for Poetry, The National Endowment for the Arts, The Corporation for Public Broadcasting Silver Medal, The National Commission on Working Women, and The American Association of University Women. She has enjoyed several state arts and humanities council awards and fellowships. She received the inaugural Columbia Award from the Folger Shakespeare Library Poetry Committee for "significant contribution to poetry."

        Note: "Sat Dec. 26. The joint is jumping at the Folger. If Shakespeare is paternalistic, there was no room for the poor guy this night. Every woman poet, or woman poet seemed to be on hand to hear this reading by a woman who has transcended poetry to become a cultural heroine in the new society. Introduction by the venerable Poet, Robert Hayden. The poetry sounds stronger than ever. The writing is brilliant and the reading rich and im-passioned. The poem about rape will stay as a social document on our age."

The Folger Library presents Poetry from the City with the witty and amusing John Lievsay and the sensitive personal Ruth Whitman. Ruth Whitman's poetry is lyrical and romantic. She deals more with emotions and feelings rather than outside facts. One of her poems protested the Jewish Women having to cut their hair off when married-- protesting women's role in society. Her others were funny in a way, but mostly romantic and one sad and reflective--(sure use that word a lot but when you sit and think about something isn't it reflecting (how about contemplative?). Her last was a love poem. All of her poems are sensitive and somehow quiet. She was awfully good. John Lievsay is an elderly poet--his poems are very witty--he sounds very wise and intelligent--most of them rhyme all the way through--but they are enjoyable to listen to.

      • "Poetry from the City: Allen Ginsberg." 03/07/1977

        Notes: "[Part one:] His poetry is a little unusual (original)in that he uses music to accompany it, if only one instrument for rhythms. He used one rhythmic instrument in one of his poems. His poems in themselves have a musical, or rhythmic sound to them in and of themselves. Most of the subjects of the poems are about the C.I.A. involved with drug traffic in IndoChina (Saigon and Cambodia). His tone is both cynical and a little angry even as it's comical. But it is in no way really happy. His last poem [on the first reel] showed the difference between American cities and those in Saigon, Cambodia and Indochina, people, atmosphere, environment. His poems are interesting and musical, using poetry to convey information and protest. [Part two:] Same type with organ music accompanying it. Sounded a bit like a spiritual in style but not words. (Some of it was distorted so I couldn't really understand the words. The organ distorted everything.) This is not politically oriented at all--these are more close to home. A little dramatic, like an actor. About Age, family. Tone is sort of a soft mellow sound instead of the protest poems. Perhaps still sort of cynical or sad. Songs about age death are the themes of these poems. (Like I said he's not a happy poet). He varies between songs and just plain poetry throughout the tape. Toward the end, his songs become more cheerful. But I believe the main tone of the poetry was reflective, somewhat cynical poetry that conveys one or two different messages."

He takes you on a trip, describes everything so visually that it leaves an impression of a picture in your mind. His poems are usually happy or spoken rapidly, excitedly. Every sentence rhymed almost like a fairy tale--rhyme--in that fashion. His poems are positive and his descriptions are colorful."
