Here’s what people are saying about Writing from the Senses
Laura Deutsch shares the secret of great writing, which comes from awakening and enlisting the senses. Writing from the Senses is filled with fresh ideas and powerful examples of evocative writing that are sure to inspire both emerging and veteran writers.
—Lavinia Spalding, author of Writing Away: A Creative Guide to Awakening the Journal-Writing Traveler
Writing from the Senses will open your eyes to the world around you, and show you how to get that world on the page.
—Adair Lara, author, Naked, Drunk and Writing and Hold Me Close, Let Me Go (and 10 other books)
Writers are here welcomed into that deepest source of writing, one's own sensory experience. Deutsch rightly names this journey going "beyond craft." One might say, "beneath craft," for this approach to writing is foundational. Writers, students and teachers alike are here given clear examples and interesting exercises, as well as ways to transform freewrites into developed pieces. Accessible and inviting, Writing From the Senses is a helpful introduction to accessing the unconscious as the wellspring of creativity.
—Pat Schneider, author, Writing Alone and With Others, and How the Light Gets In, Oxford University Press |
