Reviews

I've been searching for a book like this for over twenty years. Its remarkable dazzle--a sharp, eclectic anthology combined with whip-smart craft essays--carves out a fascinating look into the bright heart of what the lyric essay can be. --Aimee Nezhukumatathil, author of World of Wonders Perhaps the best way to define the lyric essay--a notoriously borderless, slippery literary form--is to gather several dozen finely written examples that invite the reader to engage in acts of mapping and naming themselves. This anthology does just that, with the added bonuses of thought-provoking craft pieces with decidedly lyric bents and a special attention to intersections of the lyric and the personal. I can easily imagine assigning this book in any forward-thinking class, graduate or undergraduate, that involves writing or analyzing expressive prose. --Elena Passarello, author of Let Me Clear My Throat: Essays Randon Billings Noble has assembled a stellar collection of lyric essays that truly highlights the best these forms have to offer. This book will be pulled from my shelf again and again--for my own reading and as a resource for my students. --Brenda Miller, author of An Earlier Life ?
