Download or read book The Soul of Place written by Linda Lappin and published by Travelers' Tales. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This is such a pleasure to read. Unlike most books with writing prompts, this one goes in depth with sensitizing you to ground yourself in awareness of where you are and why. Grazie, Linda, for this marvelous work.”—Frances Mayes, author of Under the Tuscan Sun In this engaging creative writing workbook, novelist and poet Linda Lappin presents a series of insightful exercises to help writers of all genres—literary travel writing, memoir, poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction—discover imagery and inspiration in the places they love. Lappin departs from the classical concept of the Genius Loci, the indwelling spirit residing in every landscape, house, city, or forest—to argue that by entering into contact with the unique energy and identity of a place, writers can access an inexhaustible source of creative power. The Soul of Place provides instruction on how to evoke that power. The writing exercises are drawn from many fields—architecture, painting, cuisine, literature and literary criticism, geography and deep maps, Jungian psychology, fairy tales, mythology, theater and performance art, metaphysics—all of which offer surprising perspectives on our writing and may help us uncover raw materials for fiction, essays, and poetry hidden in our environment. An essential resource book for the writer’s library, this book is ideal for creative writing courses, with stimulating exercises adaptable to all genres. For writers or travelers about to set out on a trip abroad, The Soul of Place is the perfect road trip companion, attuning our senses to a deeper awareness of place.
Download or read book Lost Stolen Or Shredded written by Rick Gekoski and published by Profile Books(GB). This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Sherlock Holmes's dog in the night time, sometimes the true significance of things lies in their absence. Rick Gekoski tells the very human stories that lie behind some of the greatest losses to artistic culture - and addresses the questions such disappearances raise. Some of the items are stolen (the Mona Lisa), some destroyed (like Philip Larkin's diaries, shredded, then burnt, on his dying request) and some were lost before they even existed, like the career of the brilliant art deco architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, which foundered amid a lack of cash - but behind all of them lies an often surprising story which reveals a lot about what art means to us. Gekoski explores in depth the greater questions these tremendous losses raise - such as the rights artists and authors have over their own work, the importance of the search for perfection in creativity, and what motivated people to queue to see the empty space where the Mona Lisa once hung in the Louvre.
Download or read book The Fun Book of Creative Writing written by Carlos Duval and published by . This book was released on 2014-05 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to demonstrate that ideas, for writing, can come from any source, be on any subject and that the writer does not have to be an 'expert' in the use of language. The stories in this book have been inspired by my own experiences, ideas and formal exercises from my membership of a local writing group. Many people assume that authors have some 'God Given' talent, but I hope to show you that ordinary, everyday stories can be just as valid for publication. I hope the reader enjoys reading the stories as much as I have enjoyed writing them. Do have a go at some of the exercises yourself, try to expand or enhance the stories presented The most important thing is to enjoy, even love, what you have created, then share it and hopefully publish your own work. My stories are sad, happy, humourous, mind boggling, historical and some have an exciting twist at the end; a roller coaster ride for the imagination. Enjoy the ride
