To compile the book, editor Diana M. Raab solicited essays from writers who keep--and rely on--a journal. Contributors include Sue Grafton, Kim Stafford, Dorianne Laux, John DuFresne, James Brown and Michael Steinberg, to name a few. The foreword is written by the world-renowned personal essayist, Phillip Lopate.
