Crafting the Lyric Essay is a timely treatment of the lyric essay from the perspective of a poet who takes the musicality of language seriously (and playfully). * Christine Howe, Lecturer in Creative Writing, University of Wollongong, Australia * Groundbreaking—this book is going to change the landscape of literary nonfiction and change everything we thought we knew about lyric essays. * Karen Babine, Editor of Assay: A Journal of Nonfiction Studies and author of All the Wild Hungers *
