Myriad: A Poet's Perspective on Writing

What is it to write a poem, a short story or a full-blown novel? What degree of solitude is required to push past the forces that will resist your efforts? How do you even begin to write about a particular place or a person or an idea in a clear and compelling way, that grabs the attention of a reader, a publisher or your Aunt Sophie? Jon Obermeyer has been writing creatively for 40 years and professionally for over 15 years, starting with the Ringling Bros. circus program. Told uniquely from a poet's point of view, Myriad is your outfitter's guide to exploring a writing life.
