This is a highly enjoyable book for anyone interested in the craft of writing and teaching creative writing. Through dozens of short essays and journal entries, Gilchrist discusses how reading and writing have been central elements to her life. In “The Shakespeare Group,” she tells how a group has met at her home almost every Sunday for fourteen years to read Shakespeare’s plays out loud. Some of my favorite sections reveal Gilchrist’s struggles as a creative writing teacher, something she did not begin until she was approaching age 70. She writes with honesty and humility.
