Powerful writing comes naturally when
the mind is energized and experimental, when it can take risks
and follow the unexpected wherever it leads. This book guides
the reader to the innate knowledge and surprising words that
arise when a writer falls headlong into the fascinating stream
of consciousness.
Whether you are writing for publication, as
a playground for the imagination, as a tool for psychological
and spiritual discovery, or as a way to communicate with others,
the practical tools and liberating philosophy found in this
book helps you release the genius of the intuitive mind, allowing
the writer and the writing grow naturally. This rollicking
guide gives you dozens of gateways to the subconscious world:
the surrealist technique of "automatic writing,"
playing with the archetypal imagery of the Tarot, tuning in
to the many resonances of your physical body, writing from
diverse "genre voices," connecting with the sensuous
natural world, and scrambling word sequences to break the
habit of making "sense" in a linear way.
Essayist, poet, and writing teacher Andy Couturier
is the director of The Opening, a center for courses in writing
in Oakland, CA. He has written for newspapers, magazines and
literary journals, including The Japan Times, Adbusters and
Creative Non-Fiction. One of his essays was recently nominated
for a Pushcart Prize.
