Talks, essays and reviews recommended for anyone in the throes of a creative endeavor, especially writing. For me, a reference work that upon reconsideration feels like regaining the perspective of an old and trusted friend. May be scanned for the best bits to suit a mood or mindset, or read for random insightsabout working, about making, about unmaking, about eating, cooking, feeding, about taking the seed and giving out life, about killing, about feeling, about thinking, about what women do and men do and war and peace and who presses what buttons and what buttons get pressed.
