Fruitflesh: Seeds of Inspiration for Women Who Write

by Gayle Brandeis

Fruitflesh: Seeds of Inspiration for Women Who Write Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Get your creative juices flowing.

A sumptuous, sensuous writing guide from the author of the award-winning The Book of Dead Birds

Review:

"In Fruitflesh: Seeds of Inspiration for Women Who Write, Gayle Brandeis uses the metaphor of fruit to invite women to write using all of their embodied sensuality....The book is beautifully written, with gorgeous usage of language and metaphor, but its ultimate effect seems abstract despite Brandeis's emphasis on rootedness and embodiment." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"Anyone immersing herself in Fruitflesh is sure to find her writing liberated, and enriched by the many stimulating exercises." Susan Perry, Ph.D., author of Writing in Flow

Review:

"Gayle Brandeis shows us how to write sense-soaked prose and poetry that celebrates the embodiment of the life!" Oriah Mountain Dreamer, author of The Invitation and The Dance

Review:

"Fruitflesh calls for some very juicy feasting!" Sark, author of Succulent Wild Woman
