Susan Tiberghiens poetic memoir evokes a life fully lived and
closely observed. In elegant prose and poetry, she presents the
landscapes of her time with fresh eyes, gentle humor, and a
generous spirit. The rooftops of Grenoble, the hills above Lago
Maggiore, Geneva in its white fog, are the settings for a
French-American romance, an international domestic tale, full of
children and laughter, and at the end a new direction and
revelation. Footsteps, A European Album is a wise book, and a
pleasure to read. Peter Meinke, The Piano Tuner, Zinc FingersIn
this album of wonderfully witty and poignant essays, S.Tiberghien
captures stories from thirty-five years of family life in Europe.
The collection describes a love story and from that matrix a
meditation about many kinds of love. Light and dark days, funny and
momentous ones are celebrated as faith and an energetic capacity
for friendship define the familys cross-cultural path. The pages
fly by and before we know it, the six children have grown. In the
new silence, familiar footsteps insist that she write.
WallisWilde-Menozzi, Mother Tongue, An American Life in Italy Susan
M. Tiberghien, American-born writer living in Switzerland, has
published two memoirs, Looking for Gold (Daimon Verlag, 1997) and
Circling to the Center (Paulist Press, 2001) and many narrative
essays in journals and anthologies. She teaches workshops for the
International Women's Writing Guild and C.G. Jung Centers in the
USA, and for the Geneva Writers' Group and writers' conferences in
Europe.
Twelve months of lessons for a portable workshop experience: With a
format similar to Julia Cameron's best-selling The Artist's Way,
longtime workshop leader Susan Tiberghien guides writers through
every major literary genre--from journal writing to personal essays
to nonfiction, memoir, prose, poems, and fiction--in a cycle of 12
workshops. Focusing on process--free-write, drafts, revisions--the
lessons build upon each other, guiding readers to finding and
developing their own voice. - An original and essential new book
that merits a place next to the classics on the heavily consulted
writing-guide shelf: Offering key elements of the best writing
guides out there, One Year to a Writing Life merits comparison with
Annie Dillard's The Writing Life in its authority and inspiration.
Think Brenda Ueland's If You Want to Write with the addition of
thematic exercises and Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird with a workshop
structure. Tiberghien also includes examples from masters in each
genre, from the likes of Rainer Maria Rilke to Eduardo Galeano, May
Sarton to Terry Tempest Williams, as well as Tiberghien's own work
and that of her students. - By a highly active and beloved workshop
leader: Tiberghien has taught at writers' workshops and conferences
in the United States and in Europe for more than 15 years--and has
regular engagements with IWWG (the International Women's Writing
Guild), Hudson Valley Writers Center, and the CG Jung Institute.
