Summary: Exquisite, Life-Enhancing Prose
Review: As a writer, I love this beautiful little book.
As simply a reader, I still would have loved it!Son of outstanding poet, William Stafford,
Kim Robert Stafford has his own unique and beautiful writing style.
There is a succinct eloquence in his prose that,
at times, is so poetically breath-taking ~ one must stop,
go back and re-read the given passage to savour the
hidden nuance of deeper meaning. Stafford never rambles or drifts, he does not dwell
in the shallows of trite meaningless verbosity ~
each word he writes carries depth and insight,
each chapter enriches perception. This is pure literary kindling for any writer
who feels their creativity needs a little spark...
Serving to remind you, with every page,
of the original joy to be found in artistic craft.

Summary: Fresh Perspective and Insight
Review: I came across this book at the local library in the new book section, had the book six weeks total and decided I had to buy it. There are simply too many subtleties, suggestions and insights to explore. If you aspire to be or if you are a writer, you'll treasure the ideas and admire the warm, personal tone of a man who invites you to open yourself to others, to the world around you and the world within. I didn't realize until part way through the book that Kim Stafford is an Oregon writer. It was good to see familiar places in fluid prose and through another's eyes.
