The book's three sections mingle myth and history with style and grace and no small amount of humor. The beginning essays are given over to memories of Paul Engle in his heyday. The second group focuses particularly on those teachers -- Robert Lowell, John Berryman, Kurt Vonnegut, for example -- who made the workshop hum on a day-to-day basis.
