Chrissa's Reviews > Stirring the Mud: On Swamps, Bogs, and Human Imagination

This is a fabulous book! At a time when I was drawn down in terms of inspiration, this book kept offering me new ideas and new views and subtle commentary about the need to feed one's creativity outside, it was if I'd been invited to sit by a fire flaring with other writer's dreams and slowly grew more and more eager to add my own to the fire.

I'm keeping this on a shelf for days when the news is bad, the irritation overwhelming, the chatter in my head too loud, or whatever circumstance is battering itself against my shutters.
