At Black Mountain College, poets, philosophers, scientists and painters such as Robert Duncan, Buckminster Fuller, Merce Cunningham, John Cage and Josef Albers engaged in a vast experiment whose widespread results are still felt around the world today. Far From the Centers of Ambition keeps a tribute to the College alive in print. Far From the Centers of Ambition is a behind the scenes look at the craft of writing featuring: prose by Bret Lott, Ron Rash, and Dori Sanders; poems by Sharon Olds, Fred Chappell, and Billy Collins; and classic memoir excerpts by the likes of John Updike, Reyonds Price and Frank McCourt. Second in a series of books tied to Lenoir-Rhyne University's prestigious Visiting Writers' Series, Far From the Centers of Ambition follows What Writers Do (2011).
