Using the metaphor of fruit to mirror the fruitfulness of women’s bodies and their creative potential, award-winning author and poet Gayle Brandeis combines thoughtful exercises with provocative poetry, providing inspiration for women at any stage of life. From “Seeds” and “Roots” to “Flowers” and “Fruit,” Fruitflesh follows the growing season, encouraging your growth as a writer while expanding and deepening your self-awareness.
Each section of the book begins and ends with a “Fruitflesh Meditation”—an exercise centered on a particular fruit that will help bring your body into the act of writing, adding a delightful, satisfying dimension to the creative process.
Lively, poignant, often humorous, and including many practical lessons, this distinctive approach to writing will take you to the true source of your creative power.
