This weekend workshop is a primer on writing the modern memoir, which, unlike your grandmother's memoir, can be written at any age. Also, a memoir can be about just part of your life. "The more you are present," says Natalie, "the more the past will come up and be alive. Only right now can give you your past." TOPICS INCLUDE HOW TO: 1) Crack Open Structure; 2) Listen Effectively; 3) Use Specific Detail; 4) Quiet Your Monkey Mind; 5) Find a New Angle; 6) Fail Successfully; and 7) Make Connections with Your Mind.

      Author and writing coach Natalie Goldberg delivers an interactive presentation on the art of writing a memoir. The material was recorded live at a weekend seminar in Taos, New Mexico, and one is acutely aware of Goldberg's contemplative teaching style and the class's reaction to her. Although the listener learns practical lessons about "cracking open structure to release energy," the most exquisite gift is hearing some of the students' assigned compositions. They are profoundly and touchingly from the heart. This audiobook is ideally suited for listening at home, where the listener can participate in the brief creative writing assignments, meditations, and "slow walks." A.W.
