Creative Wisdom for Writers is a collection of quotations meant to inspire you to "write and keep writing." Opposite each quotation--there are 125--Roland Fishman, the book's compiler, distills its essence. For instance, on one page, Bryce Courtney states that "You don't need to describe the kitchen, only where the carving knife is." The gist, according to Fishman, is, "Don't explain." David Mamet, Ernest Hemingway, Victoria Nelson, and the I Ching are among the book's commonly quoted sources. Fishman has culled a very nice selection of writing quotations, though there is some repetition in his edicts: "put yourself on the line," says one; "don't play safe," admonishes another; still others urge you to "experiment," "be bold," "take chances," "try things," and "challenge yourself." Fishman doesn't explain how the book "will take you through a process," but it is nonetheless comforting to have all these writers by one's side. --Jane Steinberg
