This is such a pleasure to read. Unlike most books with
writing prompts, this one goes in depth with sensitizing you to ground
yourself in awareness of where you are and why. Grazie, Linda, for this marvelous work.
Frances Mayes, author of Under the Tuscan Sun
Lappin departs from the classical concept of the Genius Loci, the indwelling spirit residing in every landscape, house, city, or forestto argue that by entering into contact with the unique energy and identity of a place, writers can access an inexhaustible source of creative power. The Soul of Place provides instruction on how to evoke that power.
The writing exercises are drawn from many fieldsarchitecture, painting, cuisine, literature and literary criticism, geography and deep maps, Jungian psychology, fairy tales, mythology, theater and performance art, metaphysicsall of which offer surprising perspectives on our writing and may help us uncover raw materials for fiction, essays, and poetry hidden in our environment.
An essential resource book for the writer's library, this book is ideal for creative writing courses, with stimulating exercises adaptable to all genres. For writers or travelers about to set out on a trip abroad, The Soul of Place is the perfect road trip companion, attuning our senses to a deeper awareness of place.
