Alice Jones is a poet, physician, and psychoanalyst whose work blends art, medicine, and psychology. She is the author of seven poetry collections and, the topic of this week's episode, the forthcoming memoir Cadence of Vanishing. Her writing has appeared in Poetry, Ploughshares, Kenyon Review, and Best American Poetry, earning her NEA and Bread Loaf fellowships as well as multiple prizes from the Poetry Society of America.

This week on Authors Unbound, we talk with poet and psychoanalyst Alice Jones about her upcoming memoir Cadence of Vanishing, which is coming out Fall 2025. Blending poetry, journal entries, and session notes, Jones explores aging, loss, and the many stories that intersect in a single life. She reads moving passages from the book, reflects on how her work as an analyst shapes her writing, and shares why slowing down, listening deeply, and finding the right words matter more than ever in today’s noisy culture.

Don’t miss this thoughtful conversation that brings poetry, history, and personal insight together in one powerful episode.

This is Alice Jones Unbound.
