Others praise mentors and lessons, whether from the classroom, daily circumstances, or the pages of a favorite writer.
Authors discuss what impels them to write: creating a sense of control in a turbulent universe; bearing witness to events that would otherwise be lost in history or within the writer\'s soul; recapturing a fragment of time.
Pieces range from reflections on the daily craft of Writing to the intersection of art\'s and life\'s consequential moments.
By turns poignant, hilarious, and practical, Writers on Writing brings together more than forty of contemporary literature\'s finest voices.
