Whether in the title poem, spoken by those who lived longingly and vicariously through the famous missing aviator, or in "Circus Fire, 1944," which intimately recounts a haunting New England tragedy, Gabrielle Calvocoressi uses her prodigious gifts of imagination and empathy to give voice to the hope and heartbreak of small-town America. In painstaking, vernacular verse, she conveys the ambitions and failings of a distraught populacein the edgy jazz portrait, "Suite Billy Strayhorn," for example, or the enthralling, interwoven sequence, "At the Adult Drive-In," which conveys, at once, a personal and communal corruption. Penetrating and compassionate, The Last Time I Saw Amelia Earhart portrays, with a storyteller's arc, the troubled landscape of the left-behind.

Who was your "gateway poet," the poet whose first book or poem made you want to write?
in grad school I was turned on to Gabrielle Calvocoressi and they really changed things for me -- conceptually how a story could be told through poetry as in The Last Time I Saw Emilia Earhart, and how explorations of boxing and jazz both as metaphors and literal essence can inhabit a book of poetry as in Apocalyptic Swing.
