Jacqueline Lapidus, a lifelong editor-teacher-translator, has three published collections: Ready to Survive (HL), Starting Over and Ultimate Conspiracy, and poems in numerous periodicals and anthologies, notably The Widows’ Handbook:Poetic Reflections on Grief and Survival (KSUP, co-edited with Lise Menn). Her prose work includes book and film reviews, cultural essays, interviews, and translations from modern Greek, French, and Brazilian Portuguese.



From loose pages to issue 119 of our magazine, an anthology of over 100 HLP poets, over a decade of the Loose Award for translated works, the Founders prize for first book in its third year, and a bunch of great books in the works, we couldn’t have come this far without you.
