The Yale Review is the self-proclaimed oldest literary quarterly in the United States. It is published by Yale University.

Clarvoe published her first collection of poetry, Invisible Tender, in 2000. Essayist Jane Satterfield wrote that her lines were "[e]dgy as often as lyrical, formal as they are free (Clarvoe relishes, for instance, variations on the sestina)." [5] Poet Laura Sims wrote in the Boston Review that Clarvoe's "vision of progression, tied up with childhood memories and marked by the 'fall' into adulthood, is highly personalized. The early poems of Invisible Tender serve as close studies of childhood events; their glance is backward, but the past is reclaimed in new form, allowing forward movement. These poems also acknowledge loss (of memory, of family ties, etc.), and in the course of each poem these losses are transformed into gifts, albeit imperfect ones." [6] The collection earned her the Kate Tufts Discovery Award in 2001. [7]
