Alchemy of the Word - Dreams and Transformations - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A STORY BUILT ON BOOKS, BY BOOKS, ABOUT BOOKS

A lifelong reader and a vocational writer invites you on an intimate tour of her home and its multifarious bookshelves, sharing the contents of her library and how all these volumes transmuted her own life from a childhood as a bookish caterpillar bookworm into the adult, full-fledged butterfly of a published author in her own right.

A luminous guide through the written word, through personal essays, book reviews, anecdotes, and insights, this book is a recipe for a literary elixir consisting of equal parts inspiration, revelation, and transformation; anyone who has ever surreptitiously sidled up to a bookshelf on a first visit to a stranger's home, just to see if there were any familiar friends living there, will find a treasured companion in Alchemy of the Word.

"Alexander's writing is a terribly engaging animal that captures the reader and drags him or her into a lush, emotional, passionate landscape. This is a wonderful book." - Paul S. Piper, author of The Wolves of Mirr
