Oedipus’s vision starts blind. A book on writing suggesting anything else is imposed, a handbook of techniques unlike these epigrams and prose poems that are essentially beyond the writer, just as the creative process is, if they are honest, beyond anyone. Blind Insights into the Writing Process is a book of sightings outside the terrestrial landscape of everyday vision that as rich as it is often gets in the way of true access. These insights came about without conscious calculation, almost beyond effort; they are the result of blind, unashamed reaching.
