Description:
There are a lot of compendia of writing advice around. The Writer's Home Companion strikes a deeper chord than many because its editor, Joan Bolker--who's also a psychologist--used to teach writers at Harvard as well as counsel them. Hence, many of these essays get inside the writer's head and heart: Anne Tyler recounts her "distractibility," Gail Godwin and Bolker herself examine those internal "watchers" that keep us from our best work, poet Patsy Cumming shares a terrific system for getting started, and manuscript reproductions from the likes of George Bernard Shaw and Henry James show us the struggles aren't ours alone.
