Writing It Down for James

Sixteen lectures, among the best delivered to small passionate audiences at the many writers'' conferences held each year, are now for the first time available to a broader audience.

In Writing It Down for James, the second in the Writers on Life and Craft series, Pattiann Rogers uses science as a jumping-off point for spirituality; Stephen Corey finds imperfect translation to be a rich language of its own when it occurs in his infant daughter-to-be''s Korean adoption papers; and other writers tell about learning to read, loving to travel, and writing one''s own story.
