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.
