Event Details

Join Natalie Goldberg, in dialogue with host Angela Murphy.

From one of the foremost writing teachers of our time, “Old Friend From Far Away” recreates Goldberg’s trademark workshop style with its demanding writing “sprints” that train the hand and mind to quicken their pace, give up conscious control and self-censoring, and reach deep into memory for truth. Although we hope for a linear method of writing about our lives, as Goldberg reminds us, life does not plod along on an obvious path – so we must approach writing sideways.

“There are no prescriptions in writing, no one way that will get you there forever,” she writes. “A little jig, a waltz, the cha-cha, the lindy, a polka—it’s good to know a lot of moves, so when it’s your time, which is right now, you can dance your ass off.”
