World Enough and Time
More than twelve years ago, over the course of ten years training teachers to write their own poems in order to pass the craft along to students, McEwen realized that nothing comes easily when life is conducted at a high rate of speed. In this updated, second edition, she reflects on the experience of publishing World Enough & Time in 2011. In addition readers and the public comment on the impact World Enough has had on their lives.

In so doing, she creates a unique combination of history, spirituality, and practical advice about how to incorporate slowness and its benefits into everyday living.
