Transformative Writing as evidenced by the diversity of writers who contribute to this ground-breaking collection comes from specific experiences, insights, stories and metaphors, and through those specifics, illuminates what s enduring, what's life-giving, what makes us human. Each writer in this book holds up a lantern of transformative writing to show us not just the way through the dark, but how meeting the darkness with curiosity and compassion makes life shimmer with meaning. Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg, founder and coordinator of Transformative Language Arts (TLA) at Goddard College
I am having this book read by my book group due to the extraordinary stories which will certainly open up discussion about the various contributors to this volume.
