Storycatcher - Making Sense of Our Lives through the Power and Practice of Story Hot

This profoundly moving book is a masterful opus about the awakening power of story to shape, and reshape, human experience and destiny. It inspires us as writers and storytellers with creative guidelines and evocative questions. But even more so, Storycatcher is itself a story: one that places language as the sacred foundation of being human and connects us to the joy within ourselves and each other, our past, and our future.
Storycatcher is an exceptional tale that weaves the heart of personal story with the universal, human story. As Baldwin says, “we literally cannot think without words, but it is the feelings words evoke that gives story its power…the voice of story is calling us to remember our true selves.”
This book entrances readers with its poignant narratives and dazzles with insight into the unbroken stream of human existence that story—both the written and oral tradition—inspires. Storycatcher helps us make sense of our lives and helps us to make sense of the world and our place in it. This is an outstanding book that will rouse your heart and open your eyes.
