This oldish (1991) collection of essays from writers and poets is very hit-and-miss. For me, a writer less interested in poetry, I found myself getting bogged down in the poetry analysis/methodology pieces. (Though one of the essays directs specifically that writers of prose SHOULD be reading poetry for the purposes of considering word economy, and so I just might have to reconsider.) And even several of the prose-related essays got bogged down in literary ephemera that seemed like it had less to do with writing. But a few of the essays hit home -- especially a fun one on prolificacy, which was good for a chuckle and also made me feel like a slug for not pouring out novels at the rate of Balzac and Dickens. I would only recommend this collection to the hardest-core writer, one who has already slogged through the more common how-to books (Carol Bly, John Gardner, Janet Burroway, Anne Lamott, etc.). ( )
