THE CREATIVE FIRE Myths and Stories about the Cycles of Creativity

The author of WOMEN WHO RUN WITH THE WOLVES offers a marvelous series of stories and myths to help artists nurture their creativity. Society looks down on the unshaped, unconventional forces that must be released for people to create. A unifying theme of the stories is how these creative forces fight with the dark and the dead--the forces that suppress our creative energy. Though tools for personal discovery are offered, this is less a practical program than a moving work of archetypal storytelling and seminal insights. With the author's personal engagement evident in every word, the storytelling is deftly paced, dramatic without seeming so, and powerfully magical. A memorable listening experience and an essential part of the audio library of any creative person. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 03]
