Publisher's Synopsis
Jenny Boully is one of the most interesting lyric essayists working today, and these essays capture her practice, and the relationship she draws between writing and other mysterious serendipties in life-falling in love, dreaming, memory.
Unlike most craft books, Betwixt-and-Between is not prescriptive and offers no advice for composition or revision, instead lingering on the joys and challenges of the necessary uncertainty that accompanies creative work.
Writers should find a kinship in Boully's essays, but there is much here for the general reader too, and anyone interested in art-making and how experience remakes us, changing who we are and reflecting back on who we once were as well.
