[stylist] Bookshare Book: "On Writing"

[Jacqueline Williams]

Jim,
The book info sounds like it would be a good one for beginners. I am
familiar with Ted Kooser. I thought it was Krooser, but that is what I
thought I heard when we studied him in poetry class, not what I have seen.
I will order because of the quality of his poetry, I think his book would be
good for other than the beginner also.
Thanks for the info.
Jackie

Hi,
This book may be useful.

On Writing
Eudora Welty

Eudora Welty was one of the twentieth century's greatest literary figures.
For as long as students have been studying her fiction as literature,
writers
have been looking to her to answer the profound questions of what makes a
story good, a novel successful, a writer an artist. On Writing presents the
answers
in seven concise chapters discussing the subjects most important to the
narrative craft, and which every fiction writer should know, such as place,
voice,
memory, and language. But even more important is what Welty calls "the
mystery" of fiction writing--how the writer assembles language and ideas to
create
a work of art. Originally part of her larger work The Eye of the Story but
never before published in a stand-alone volume, On Writing is a handbook
every
fiction writer, whether novice or master, should keep within arm's reach.
Like The Elements of Style, On Writing is concise and fundamental,
authoritative
and timeless--as was Eudora Welty herself. From the Hardcover edition.
