Grace Cavalieri is a poet, a painter, and a playwright. In her new book, Owning The Not So Distant World, she journeys through love and its permutations; and the harsh realities of a military wife's life made memorable with prosody. Cavalieri is not afraid of the nighttime mind and its hidden treasures; she dares to dive deep into the unconscious, to surface with astonishment and gratitude. These are poems of risk and sometimes experimentation, breaking old forms to create energy for the new.  Cavalieri shares the compassion of poetry, like a candle held out to the world.

Grace Cavalieri was Maryland's tenth Poet Laureate (2018-2024).   She founded and still produces "The Poet and the Poem" for public radio, now from the Library of Congress, celebrating 47 years on-air in 2024. She holds two Allen Ginsberg Awards; The Paterson Award; the AWP George Garrett, Columbia, Bordighera, AAUW Awards; National Commission on Working Women Award, and the CPB Silver Medal, plus others. She's an Academy of American Poets Fellow. She's had 20 plays produced on American stages. In July 2023, twenty-five years of her podcasts were sent to the moon from NASA on Lunar Codex.
