Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
This edited version of Goldberg's writing workshop reiterates the rules of writing she presents in her books Writing Down the Bones (Shambhala, 1986) and Wild Mind (Bantam, 1990). Here, she emphasizes the importance of ``writing practice.'' All one needs is pencil, paper, a block of time, and the perseverance to work on a continuing basis. Goldberg urges writers to ignore the ``monkey mind,'' that inner voice that prevents the expression of real thoughts. She relates how Zen and her tutelege under Daimin Katagiri Roshi contributed to her success and includes her reading of the introduction to Long Quiet Highway (LJ 2/1/91). The audio presentation allows the audience to hear the author's ideas in her own encouraging, relaxed style. Recommended for libraries with writing programs.-Catherine Swenson, Norwich Univ. Lib., Northfield, Vt.
