The Way of the Makers is an insightful and comprehensive exploration of the poetic creative process. Compiled and authored by the noted critic and poet Marguerite Ogden Bigelow Wilkinson, this work delves into the mystical and practical aspects of how poetry is conceived and crafted. Wilkinson examines the nature of inspiration, the discipline of form, and the spiritual life of the artist. The volume serves as both a study of poetics and an anthology, featuring the voices and experiences of numerous poets who describe their own methods and philosophies of creation.

Divided into thematic sections, the book addresses the maker's path through various lenses, including the primary impulse to create, the labor of composition, and the ultimate purpose of the written word. It offers readers a unique glimpse into the workshops of literary minds, making it an invaluable resource for students of literature, aspiring poets, and anyone interested in the psychology of art.
