"Discipline, humility, kindness. These qualities cohere in the best mentors, bundled into an overarching approach to the art of writing. It is not, I think, coincidence that the writers in this collection remember these qualities best when speaking of their mentors as people, as fellow pilgrims who helped them on the way. In some sense, whether consciously or not, we seek out mentors who learn how to live-as an artist, and as a human being."-from the Introduction by Jeffrey SkinnerLee Martin is the author of a collection of stories, "The Least You Need to Know" (Sarabande, 1996), a memoir "From Our House" (Dutton 2000), and a novel "Just Enough Haughty," also forthcoming from Dutton.
