Turner Publishing proudly presents the first of three new literary works by Sandra Hochman, author of Walking Papers.
When asked in 1976 by a reporter from People Magazine if her first two novels were autobiographical, Sandra Hochman replied, "My real life is much more fabulous than the books. One day I plan to write about it—men, Paris and women's liberation. It will probably be called Unreal Life."
Hochman first met Pulitzer Prize-winning American poet Robert Lowell in 1961 at the Russian Tea Room in New York. She was to interview him for Encounter magazine. Hochman was twenty-five and had recently returned from Paris where she had lived with her husband for four years. They were now separated. Lowell was forty-three with plans to leave his wife. Hochman remembers it as the day that changed her life. The two poets fell in love instantly, and before the night was over, they had vowed to stay together forever. In Hochman's first literary work in almost forty years, she writes in startling detail about the torrid and ultimately doomed affair that would follow.
Activist, socialite, and artist, Sandra Hochman is a Pulitzer Prize-nominated poet with six volumes of poetry, and the author of six novels with three forthcoming literary works from Turner Publishing. She also authored two nonfiction books and co-directed a 1973 documentary, Year of the Woman with Gloria Steinem, currently enjoying a renaissance. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, and she was a columnist for Harpers Bazaar. She also ran her own foundation, "You're an Artist Too" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to teach poetry and song writing to children ages 7–12 for fifteen years.
