 | | Phillips' question-and-answer sessions, conducted between 1976 and 1999, focus on each writer's body of work, writing style, productivity and influences. |
 | | He interviewed poets Philip Larkin, Karl Shapiro, William Jay Smith and Marya Zaturenska, as well as novelists William Goyen, Joyce Carol Oates, Elizabeth Spencer and William Styron. |
 | | Of course, most of the artists crossed over into additional genres: Oates, a prolific writer, drafted poetry, drama and nonfiction as well as prose. |
