Galway Kinnell came out with that wonderful big, breathy, hollow voice of his and read, for the first time in public, "The Bear. " That poem impressed me so much that I memorized it. I used it for years when I taught in prisons. It's a powerful extended metaphor for what the writing life is really all about.

We're asking people to look at themselves and think about what might be possible with a little self-transformation.
