Description

From three decades of editing, teaching, and writing fiction and poetry, Ioannou knows well the thorns and honey of the literary life: “Writing forces us to be alone with our thoughts, to work through the wrinkles of our own living. At the same time, when the lines are flowing, there is no greater high." With ample light and balm, support and inspiration, Ioannou encourages writers coping with the foibles of the literary life to continue holding true.

Editorial Reviews

"Thanks so much for Holding True, a ray of sunshine... it’s going to be very useful in my Reading and Writing Poetry course, especially in dealing with young-writer anxieties. Lots of hard-earned but encouragingly expressed wisdom.” - Dr. John Reibetanz, Victoria University
