Riassunto

<div>What is a lyric essay? An essay that has a lyrical style? An essay that plays with form in a way that resembles poetry more than prose? Both of these? Or something else entirely? The works in this anthology show&#160;lyric essays&#160;rely more on intuition than exposition, use image more than narration, and question more than answer. But despite all this looseness, the lyric essay still has responsibilities&#8212;to try to reveal something, to play with ideas, or to show a shift in thinking, however subtle.&#160;The whole of a lyric essay adds up to more than the sum of its parts.<br><br> In <i>A Harp in the Stars</i>, Randon Billings Noble has collected lyric essays written in four different forms&#8212;flash, segmented, braided, and hermit crab&#8212;from a range of diverse writers. The collection&#160;also includes a section of craft essays&#8212;lyric essays about lyric essays. And because lyric essays can be so difficult to pin down, each contributor has supplemented their work with a short meditation on this boundary-breaking form.</div>
