A Community of Writers by Robert Dana
This text's three sections mingle myth and history with style, grace and humour. The first essays are given over to memories of Paul Engle in his heyday. The second group focuses on the teachers who made the workshop hum on a daily basis, and the third section is devoted to storytelling.
