How I wish I'd had access to this book when I was first starting out as a writer! Maggie Smith has created an offering here of great substance and generosity - walking writers of all levels through the sometimes wild and terrifying landscape of literary endeavour -- ELIZABETH GILBERT Praise for Maggie Smith: 'As beautiful and lyrical as they come * * Red * * I am in awe of Maggie Smith for what she is willing to show us. Yes, the writing is keen and gorgeous, and yes, she tells us a hundred truths in every chapter, but most of all she allows us to witness a self-crumbling, scattering and renewing -- KATHERINE MAY To read Maggie Smith is to embrace the achingly precious beauty of the present moment * * TIME * * Maggie Smith is that rare poet who can inspire you, break your heart and make you stop astonished at the planet around you - all in the same poem, often in the same moment -- ILYA KAMINSKY
