As Rember notes in his introduction, "MFA in a Box is not a How to Write Book. It's a Why to Write Book." By exploring the relationships between the writer and love, grief, place, family, race, and violence, Rember helps writers dive deep into their own writing. He tells them how they can breathe down there and how they can get back. "A big part of writing involves grappling with the terrors and discouragements that come when you have writing skills but can't project yourself or your work into the future," says Rember. "My hope is that MFA in a Box will help writers balance the despair of writing with the joy of writing. It's a book designed to help you to find the courage to put truth into words and to understand that writing is a life-and-death endeavor -- but that nothing about a life-and-death endeavor keeps it from being laugh-out-loud funny."

John Rember is the author of six books and numerous magazine and newspaper articles. He was a professor of writing for many years at The College of Idaho in Caldwell and in the Pacific University MFA program in Forest Grove, Oregon. John lives in the Sawtooth Valley of central Idaho.
