At W. W. Norton, an independent publisher, Ms. Bialosky is a vice president and executive editor, overseeing the company’s large and well-regarded trade poetry catalog, publishing such established poets as Rita Dove, Adrienne Rich and Marie Howe, along with younger poets including Major Jackson, Adam Fitzgerald and Meghan O’Rourke.

She also edits fiction and is the author of a memoir about her sister’s suicide that appeared on The New York Times’s best-seller list.

“Jill Bialosky is a trusted, longtime colleague and editor who has always done an outstanding job with her list of trade books at Norton,” John Glusman, the editor in chief at W. W. Norton, said in a statement Thursday. “For more than two decades, she has acquired and edited works by some of our most esteemed literary authors.”

In a statement on Thursday, Simon & Schuster, the parent company of Atria Books, which published Ms. Bialosky’s memoir, said: “Jill Bialosky is a highly regarded editor and author who, in ‘Poetry Will Save Your Life,’ has written a unique and critically acclaimed memoir. We stand by the book and are ready to work with the author to make any necessary corrections for future editions of the book.”

Of the eight instances that Mr. Logan cited in his review, one in particular stands out.

Her section about the poet Robert Lowell reads: “Although Lowell’s manic depression was a great burden for him and his family, the exploration of mental illness in his verse led to some of his most important poetry, particularly as it manifested itself in Life Studies. When he was fifty, Lowell began taking lithium to treat his mental illness.”
