This spirited anthology of the most inspiring and useful essays and exercises ever produced on the craft of writing, compiled and edited by a professor of writing for more than 30 years, is the next best thing to having an experienced writer at one's side. Thirty-two pieces, most never published in book form, are grouped by subject, and many carry surprising bylines.
