One morning, Hilary Stevens, a renowned poet in her seventies, is approached by Mar, an intense young man who has sought her out and whose passionate despair reminds her of herself when young. Mar has had an unhappy love affair with a man. Bewildered by both his sexuality and his writing talend, he flings hi sanguish against Hilary's brusque, sympathetic intelligence.
Later that day, she faces a team of interviewers from a leading literal periodical, sent to search out the reasons and mysteries behind the poet's creative output. In her effort to answer the questions, she retraces her past, seeking the link between her encounters with the Muse, those passionate attachments to women who ignited her imagination, and her own epiphanies.
