Mary Mackey charts the paths of her own creativity as she tries to discover an entry point to the magical place where the seed of a poem starts to open.

“Read this book out loud to find out more about where poems come from…Mackey’s style is immensely lucid, readable, and engaging… This book will be enlightening not just to anyone interested in the creative process, but also to creative writing students at all levels, discovering in themselves their own pre-language source.”— Synchronized Chaos Magazine
