Why write out of our lives? What can it do for us? How can sharing
our stories connect us with others? Acclaimed novelist and essayist
Lynn Lauber chronicles her journey as a writer and longtime teacher
at creative writing programs around the country. She explores how
writing--both fiction and creative nonfiction--has served as a
means of personal navigation, a healing and avenging force, and a
way of calling up not only a lost daughter but also a lost self.
Her story serves as encouragement for others to produce their own
personal narratives. Each chapter includes inventive writing
exercises and prompts, practical devices for moving past writer's
blocks and self-censorship, and advice from Lauber's students as
well as renowned authors. Listen to Me expands on the wisdom of
Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones and Anne Lamott's Bird by
Bird, offering energizing tips, techniques, and anecdotes in
combination with honest and personal experience-sharing.
