This week I’m pleased to be interviewing Sandra Gilbert, local Bay Area resident, award winning poet, writer and Professor at University of California, Davis. Sandra is an influential literary critic and poet who has published widely in the fields of feminist literary criticism, feminist theory, and psychoanalytic criticism. She is the author of eight collections of poetry as well as many books, arguably the best-known of which is The Madwoman in The Attic, a landmark in 1970s American feminism, co-authored with Susan Gubar. She was named a Ms. “Woman of the Year” in 1986 and one of USA Today’s “People Who Made a Difference” in 1985 (with Susan Gubar). Sandra is a former president of the Modern Language Association and has been a recipient of Guggenheim, Rockefeller, NEH, and Soros Foundation fellowships and has held residencies at Yaddo, MacDowell, Bellagio, Camargo, and Bogliasco. In 1988 she was awarded a D. Litt. by Wesleyan University. In 1990 she was a co-recipient (with Karl Shapiro) of the International Poetry Forum’s Charity Randall Award. More recently, she has won a Patterson Prize, an American Book Award, the John Ciardi Award for Lifetime Achievement in Poetry, the Premio Lerici Pea, and several awards from Poetry magazine. In 2004 she was awarded the degree of Doctor Philosophiae Honoris Causa by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In 2012, she and her longtime collaborator Susan Gubar were awarded the Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award of the National Book Critics Circle.
