“Packed with inspirational, useful, and thought-provoking essays on the craft of writing from some of the best writers around.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune Teachers, exercises, mentors, critiques, humor, and inspiration: these form the fuel all writers need when they get down to work every day. For decades the Loft Literary Center has provided this fuel to an enormous community of writers. Views from the Loft brings together the collected wisdom of that community—its authors, students, and editors—giving anyone the tools and inspiration necessary to thrive in the writing life. A who’s who of writers on writing ranging from the National Book Award–winning poet Mark Doty to Newbery Medal–winning children’s author Kate DiCamillo, and touching on issues as delicate as the representation of family in memoir and as hilarious as a “sad-epiphany poem” mad lib for frustrated poets, this book is an essential collection of crucial tips and challenging questions for everyone who puts pen to page. The essays and interviews in this book include superstar writers like Rick Bass, Michael Cunningham, Grace Paley, Jim Moore, Kathleen Norris, Susan Power, Susan Straight, Bao Phi, Marilyn Hacker, Shannon Olson, R.D. Zimmerman, Lorna Landvik, Vivian Gornick, Yehuda Amichai, and many more.
