This book is a selection of craft talks delivered during the conference over the last several years. Some essays focus on one or two authors, some focus on texts, while others cast their regard more broadly. All are written in response to questions generated by the process of writing, as masters of the craft candidly report challenges they confront and the means by which they work to resolve such issues. The eighteen essays encompass poetry, fiction, and playwriting, investigating questions of language, character, design, and meaning, with nuanced readings of particular authors and works alongside more wide-ranging reflections on craft. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDesigned for audiences of writers and readers across multiple levels and backgrounds, the essays collected in \u003ci\u003eAs We Were Saying\u003c\/i\u003e offer original, insightful arguments about the craft of writing and the power of literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWyatt Prunty\u003c\/b\u003e is the Carlton Professor of English at the University of the South and the founding director of the Sewanee Writers' Conference.
