A volume in the Poets on Poetry series, which collects critical
works by contemporary poets, gathering together the articles,
interviews, and book reviews by which they have articulated the
poetics of a new generation. In this fourth collection of
reflections on writing and the writing life, the late William
Stafford's lifelong refusal to separate his work from the task of
living responsibly-"What a person is shows up in what a person
does"-rings clear. The Answers Are Inside the Mountains collects
unpublished interviews, poems, articles, aphorisms, and writing
exercises from this great American man of letters and hugely
prolific author, who kept a journal for nearly half a century and
produced over 20,000 poems-a staggering output by any standard. The
book begins with the words "To overwhelm by rightness," a phrase
evoking the two demands Stafford made on himself: to write daily,
and to live uprightly. The Answers Are Inside the Mountains lives
up to those deceptively simple ethics, and confirms William
Stafford's enduringly important voice for our uncertain age.
