Reviews
Praise for the work of Natalie Goldberg "Many years ago my older brother gave me Writing Down the Bones with the inscription, 'So write already!' It was for me and for many readers a novel and fresh way to approach writing. I have delighted in Natalie's books ever since." -- Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone "Heartfelt, funny, wise, pleading, calm, and ferocious, Natalie just makes you want to write!" -- Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart "Natalie Goldberg is one of the world's most beloved writing teachers, a mentor who has inspired millions to take up the pen and write." -- Ruth Ozeki, author of A Tale for the Time Being "Many writers are indebted to her for pointing the way for them to open their hearts in their writing." -- Library Journal "The secret of creativity, Natalie Goldberg makes clear, is to subtract rules for writing, not add them. It's a process of 'uneducation' rather than education. Proof that she knows what she's talking about is abundant in her own sentences. They flow with speed and grace and accuracy and simplicity. It looks easy to a reader, but writers know it is the hardest writing of all." -- Robert Pirsig, author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance "Long Quiet Highway is the autobiography of a thoughtful woman who grounded herself in Eastern thought and Western art -- a precise history of Natalie Goldberg's adventures as a poet, teacher, and spiritual student -- a book full of sentiment and anecdote." -- Allen Ginsberg

Synopsis
One of the world's foremost writing teachers invites readers on a joyful journey into the reading and origins of haiku, One of the world's foremost writing teachers invites readers on a joyful journey into the reading and origins of haiku A haiku is three simple lines. But it is also, as Allen Ginsberg put it, three lines that "make the mind leap." A good one, he said, lets the mind experience "a small sensation of space which is nothing less than God." As many spiritual practices seek to do, the haiku's spare yet acute noticing of the immediate and often ordinary grounds the reader in the pure awareness of now. Natalie Goldberg is a delightfully companionable tour guide into this world. She highlights the history of the form, dating back to the seventeenth century; shows why masters such as Basho and Issa are so revered; discovers Chiyo-ni, an important woman haiku master; and provides insight into writing and reading haiku. A fellow seeker who travels to Japan to explore the birthplace of haiku, Goldberg revels in everything she encounters, including food and family, painting and fashion, frogs and ponds. She also experiences and allows readers to share in the spontaneous and profound moments of enlightenment and awakening that haiku promises.
