"The secret of creativity, Natalie Goldberg makes clear, is to subtract rules for writing, not add them. It's a process of 'uneducation' rather than éducation. Proof that she knows what she's talking about is abundant in her own sentences. They flow with speed and grâce and accuracy and simplicity. It looks easy to a reader, but writers know it is the hardest writing of ail." —Robert Pirsig, author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

For more than twenty years Natalie Goldberg has been challenging and cheering on writers with herbooksand workshops.ln hergroundbreaking first book, she brings together Zen méditation and writing in a new way. Writing practice, as she calls it, is no différent from other forms of Zen practice—"it is backed by two thousand years of studying the mind."
This new édition, which marks almost twenty years since the original book's publication, includes a new préfacé in which Goldberg expresses her trademark enthusiasm for writing practice, as well as a depth of appréciation for the process that has corne with time and experience. Also included is an interview with the author in which she reflects on the relationship between Zen sitting practice and writing, the importance of place, and the power of memory. Vissza
