This is more than a memoir. Mach had written an honest review not only about his life, but has shown the many obstacles he faced as a writer. He had demonstrated his writing prowess by showing how he wrote a novel at 17, then later became stringer for a newspaper chain, then an editor of two magazines, a university lecturer, and an award-winning author of fiction and poetry. He concludes with listing ten important lessons he had learned,and from which readers would benefit--whether they are writers or not.

Ever think of museums as places where we take our history and chop it into bits so you can examine the fragments? I do because with the help of a sympathetic museum muse I believe we would understand who we were, who we are now, and where we are going. This poetry book by a prize-winning poet is a search for that muse. Here is an example of one of these poems: "If you want to know the soul of an artist feel the tenderness of his paintbrush. Paintings are not a mere dabbling of color, paintings are the veins of a sensitive soul sutured on the body of a canvas."
