Publisher's Synopsis
Cultural Writing. The intent of this handbook is to guide the reader through exercises developed by Alfred DePew in his journal workshops of the past 13 years, and to change the reader's relationship to fear so as to deepen into more powerful parts of the Self. Why does writing feel like a plunge into the deep end? It doesn't have to. Alfred DePew has written an innovative into-the-water book. DePew is a personal and personable guide. Both initiation and invitation, his exercises are enticing.-Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way. Move over Anais, this handbook for journal writers is actually readable, a bit like crossing a memoir with muscle building and art class. He has paid his journal keeping dues, and passes his gains in a way that is the perfect balance of hip, intellectual, and healing.-Joan Logghe, author of Twenty Years in Bed with the Same Man.
