Of Writing Down the Bones, Goldberg has said, “What have I learned about writing over these thirty years? I’ve written fourteen books, and it’s the practice in Bones that is the foundation, sustaining and building my writing voice, that keeps me honest, teaches me how to endure the hard times and how to drop below discursive thinking, to taste the real meat of our minds and the life around us.”

Miriam Sagan, SFCC associate professor and poet, founded and directs SFCC’s Creative Writing program and established the Santa Fe Literary Review. Sagan holds a B.A. with honors from Harvard University and an M.A. in Creative Writing from Boston University. She is the author of more than 20 books. Her blog is at miriamswell.wordpress.com.
