Women writers offer inspiration, advice on survival in new anthology
How do women writers cope with changes and juggle the demands in their already full lives to make time for their lives as artists?
In this anthology edited by UGA professor of English Judith Ortiz Cofer and University of Tennessee professor Marilyn Kallet, noted female novelists, journalists, essayists, poets and nonfiction writers address the old and new challenges of “doing it all” that face women writers as the 21st century begins.
With eloquence, sensitivity and more than a touch of wry humor, Sleeping with One Eye Open relates positive stories from women who lead effective lives as artists, emphasizing how sources of inspiration, discipline, resourcefulness and determination help them succeed despite the obstacle of “no time.”
Cofer also is the author of The Latin Deli and The Line of the Sun. Director of UT’s creative writing program, Kallet is the author of eight books, including How to Get Heat without Fire.
