Natalie Goldberg
Natalie Goldberg was a poet for 13 years before she completed Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within, a book that broke open the world of creativity and started a revolution in the way we practice writing in this country. The book has sold more than 1 million copies and been translated into nine languages. Since then she has written seven other books, including Wild Mind: Living the Writer's Life, a book of reflections and writing exercises; the novel Banana Rose; Living Color: A Writer Paints Her World, about painting as a second art form; and Thunder and Lightning: Cracking Open the Writer's Craft which takes readers beyond writing practice to forming finished work.
Her new book, Top of My Lungs, is her first book of poetry in 22 years. Goldberg has been practicing Zen meditation and teaching seminars in writing as a practice for the last 25 years. People from around the world attend her life-changing workshops and she has a reputation as a great teacher. She currently lives in Northern New Mexico. |
