How to start writing (and when to stop) : advice for authors / Wisława Szymborska ; edited, translated, and with an introduction by Clare Cavanagh. by Szymborska, Wisława author., Cavanagh, Clare editor, translator. New York : New Directions Publishing, 2021 Series:  New Directions paperbook ; 1514. Description:  96 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 21 cm. Edition:  First edition. Contents:  The use and abuse of poetry for life / by Clare Cavanagh -- How to start writing -- Pseudo-afterword -- A conversation about the literary mailbox. Summary:  "In this witty "how-to" guide, Wisława Szymborska has nothing but sympathy for the labors of would-be writers generally: "I myself started out with rotten poetry and stories," she confesses in this collection of pieces culled from the advice she gave-anonymously-for many years in the well-known Polish journal Literary Life. She returns time and again to the mundane business of writing poetry properly, that is to say, painstakingly and sparingly. "I sigh to be a poet," Miss A. P. from Bialogard exclaims. "I groan to be an editor," Szymborska responds. Szymborska stubbornly insists on poetry's "prosaic side": "Let's take the wings off and try writing on foot, shall we?" This delightful compilation, translated by the peerless Clare Cavanagh, will delight readers and writers alike"---Provided by publisher.
