Synopsis

Poet and essayist Peter Stitt describes not a perfect life achieved, but his search for that ideal, writing of books he has loved and of the often difficult lives of writers, including his teachers John Berryman and James Wright. Generous and alert in his fascinations, Stitt explores the quest for freedom in thought and action among the Amish, the French partisans, and the "heretical" Cathars, and he offers a fresh perspective on parenting, meditating on the life of an adopted stepdaughter.
