The subjects and ideas explored in this collection of essays by Nancy Willard span a wide range of the poet and novelist’s many passions: creative muses, fairy tales, litany as poetic form, and children’s literature. Readers and writers of all genres and levels of experience will enjoy Willard’s practical and entertaining insights and analyses, and find inspiration in her examination of the imaginative processes integral not only to literature, but to other creative disciplines such as art and film.
