“Driven to Write” Panel at Politics and Prose – Conn Ave.

with Julius Hobson, Jane Leavy, Robert Pinsky & Nazila Fathi 

In this book of essays, Driven to Write: 45 Writers on the Motives and Mysteries of Their Craft, over 40 successful writers in varied fields –poetry, science, the performing and visual arts, psychoanalysis, journalism, literature and more– explore what drives them to write, and to work at their craft.

In contributions arranged under three headings– “Models and Mentors,” “Urges and Traumas,” and “Evidence and Experiences”–each writer explores their personal understanding of writing as a psychological necessity. In varying ways, these candid, often emotional essays reveal a range of intimate, mysterious and unpredictable purposes and motivations.

Driven to Write provides fresh, practical, and imaginative approaches to literary art for aspiring and established writers alike.
