"Writer Interviews" is the most enduring and celebrated feature of the American literary magazine The Paris Review. Since its inaugural issue in 1953, featuring E.M. Forster, The Paris Review has consistently published lengthy interviews with the greatest writers of our time. Initially titled "The Art of the Fiction," these interviews have gradually expanded to "The Art of Poetry" and "The Art of Criticism," encompassing over 300 articles to date, encompassing nearly every major writer in the world from the second half of the 20th century to the present day. Writer interviews have become The Paris Review's signature, establishing a paradigm for this unique genre.

From preparation to execution, a single interview often takes months, sometimes even years, to complete. These interviews are not conducted to coincide with the publication of a new book by the author, and therefore have no air of commercial promotion. The writers naturally discuss their writing habits, methods, moments of difficulty, and literary secrets. The content is witty and has significant documentary value. This, coupled with the anecdotes surrounding the interviews, has made this program itself legendary, worthy of being called "one of the longest-running cultural dialogues in world history."

"The Paris Review: Poets Interviews" includes long interviews with the following eighteen poets: Marianne Moore, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Blaise Cendrar, George Seferis, Anne Sexton, Philip Larkin, John Ashbery, Derek Walcott, W.S. Merwin, Octavio Paz, Yehuda Amichai, Yves Bonnefoy, Czesław Milosz, Ted Hughes, Gary Snyder, Seamus Heaney, Robert Bly, and Jack Gilbert.
