Product Description -
An invaluable companion for any writer seeking to make the writing life a more complex and cooperative venture a€œIlluminating, deeply endearing essays.a€a€”Ron Charles, Washington Post A  a€œA lovely, loving letter to aspiring writers.a€a€”Diego Báez, Booklist A  In these intimate and eloquent meditations, the award-winning poet Carl Phillips shares lessons he has learned about the writing life, an a€œapprenticeship to what can never fully be mastered.a€ Drawing on forty years of teaching and mentoring emerging writers, he weaves his experiences as a poet with the necessary survival skills, including ambition, stamina, silence, politics, practice, audience, and community. A  In the tradition of Anne Lamotta€s Bird by Bird, Rainer Maria Rilkea€s Letters to a Young Poet, and Marcus Aureliusa€s Meditations, this is an invaluable companion for writers at every stage of their journey. Phillipsa€s book serves as a partner in speculation and an invitation to embrace mystery.
