Chère Alice?Three Lives combines selections from an Alice Toklas interview (conducted in 1956 and residing at the Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley) with sonnet-letters to Alice by poet Cate Gable. Gertrude, Hemingway, Picabia and others share the stage with contemporary poets Marilyn Hacker, Margo Berdeshevsky, June Jordan, Monique Wittig and friends in a literary romp through time.
