<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In her first book to focus solely on writing since her classic work "Writing Down the Bones," Goldberg reaffirms her status as one of the foremost teachers by redefining the practice of writing memoir.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Memoir writers, buy this book, put it on your personal altar, or carry it with you as you traverse the deep ruts of your old road." --Tom Spanbauer, author of <i>The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon</i></b> <p/><b><i>Old Friend from Far Away </i>teaches writers how to tap into their unique memories to tell their story. </b> <p/>Twenty years ago Natalie Goldberg's classic, <i>Writing Down the Bones</i>, broke new ground in its approach to writing as a practice. Now, <i>Old Friend from Far Away</i>--her first book since <i>Writing Down the Bones</i> to focus solely on writing--reaffirms Goldberg's status as a foremost teacher of writing, and completely transforms the practice of writing memoir. <p/>To write memoir, we must first know how to remember. Through timed, associative, and meditative exercises, <i>Old Friend from Far Away </i>guides you to the attentive state of thought in which you discover and open forgotten doors of memory. At once a beautifully written celebration of the memoir form, an innovative course full of practical teachings, and a deeply affecting meditation on consciousness, love, life, and death, <i>Old Friend from Far Away </i>welcomes aspiring writers of all levels and encourages them to find their unique voice to tell their stories. Like <i>Writing Down the Bones</i>, it will become an old friend to which readers return again and again.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A celebration of the memoir form...an impassioned call to write, delivered by an author who knows how to zero in on the truth, and lead others there as well.
