Publisher's Synopsis
The magic of 18 people coming together in creative synergy in the Life Writing Tutorial at the Huntington, West Virginia, Museum of Art bubbled over into this book of true-life tales, a number of which are headed for publication as whole books on their own. Here you find stories of training to be an Olympic figure skater on an isolated windswept pond, of doing a delirious dance on the docks as an antidote to crushing marital separation, of trembling in bed waiting for a Soviet nuclear attack during the Cuban Missile Crisis, of Ndlazi the witch doctor operating out of a smoke-darkened hut in South Africa, of being chased by a cherry-red gobbler turkey, of visiting the cell in a crumbling shut down prison where the writer's grandfather had died, and considerably more. For men and women of all ages who aspire to be published, this book is a welcome ray of inspiration -- and hope!
