Through a candid and generous account of his own story, acclaimed poet Philip Schultz reveals how his early struggle to find inspiration in his negative inclinations led to the idea of persona writing, the philosophy on which he founded the Writers Studio in 1987. Schultz reflects on his early life in an immigrant neighborhood of upstate New York, his first experiments with poetry and experiences of loss, his struggles with dyslexia, and the teachers and writers-such as Joan Didion, Ernest Hemingway, John Cheever, and Elizabeth Bishop-who encouraged and influenced him. Along the way, he develops the generative method of persona writing as the foundation of his work. Perceptive, enlightening, and moving, Comforts of the Abyss explores how writers can transform vulnerability and negativity into creativity"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Schultz, Philip. 650 0 $a Authorship $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Poets, American $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Poets, American $y 21st century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Creation (Literary, artistic, etc.) 941 $a 5 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033632.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230613010224.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220902010440.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220802020922.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630014251.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E6D9D37CCD0111ECB5E908A224ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
