Book Reviews of The Writing Life
Book Review: A most poetic mirror of the process of creative writing.
Summary: 5 Stars
This brief, beautiful confession of the pshyche of writing is both inspiring intellectually and deeply satisfying artistically. It is written with great humility, yet itself lives with the beauty of words about which it stands in awe. It is abstract and concrete, mystical and real, but always a living experience about the sublest of experiences, the creative process. This is one of those books which, having been read from the library, has to be bought so that it can stand in one's soul and breath.
