Humiliation is not, of course, unique to writers. However, the world of letters does seem to offer a nearperfect microclimate for embarrassment and shame. There is something about the conjunction of highmindedness and low income that is inherently comic; something about the very idea of deeply private thoughts carefully worked and honed into art over the years being presented to a public audience of dubious strangers, that strays perilously close to tragedy. These seventy contributions prove it is possible to reverse Auden's dictum: that art is born out of humiliation.
