When the Rewards Can Be So Great is a selection of craft talks delivered by faculty at the Pacific University Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Writing Program. The essays in this exciting collection are at times deeply personal, providing insight into the development of the writers in their craft; and at times sharply practical and filled with long-tested approaches for writing with power and effectiveness. All are characterized by care, generosity, and good humor and reflect a wonderfully welcoming eclectism of styles, interests, traditions, and diversity of voices. -- Back cover
