In this collection of interviews, Sendak presents himself as a writer, illustrator, set designer, and librettist.

Beginning her career as a literary novelist for adults, L'Engle (1918-2007) continued to write fiction for both young and old long after A Wrinkle in Time.

What emerges from these encounters with this great author is a sense of Malamud’s deep, lifetime commitment to his art and to a seriousness of purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough there is very little domest\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52691212468591,"sku":"9780878054909","price":226.39,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0878054901.jpg?v=1771533069"},{"product_id":"conversations-with-nikki-giovanni","title":"Conversations with Nikki Giovanni","description":"Out of this collection of twenty-two interviews spanning two decades rises the distinctive voice of “the princess of black poetry.” Nikki Giovanni entered the literary world at the height of the Black Arts Movement and quickly achieved not simple fame but stardom, a phenomenon almost unprecedented for a poet. Her first two volumes of poetry, \u003ci\u003eBlack Feeling, Black Talks\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBlack Judgement\u003c\/i\u003e, gave expression to the thoughts and feelings of a generation of young African Americans and established Giovanni, in the minds of many, as a “revolutionary,” even militant, poet. The image was not altogether accurate, yet it became the gauge by which her later work was judged.\u003cp\u003eIn these conversations the reader can follow the evolution of Giovanni’s distinctive voice and the sensibility of the poet’s mind.

Three generations of contemporary composers-immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe, North and South America, and naïve sabras- share their ideas about music, the creative process, and their experiences as artists living and working in Israel.
