The Artist's Way

In a live lecture and studio Q and A session, Cameron does her best to dispel the myth that "creativity" is the gift of only a few lucky souls. She has a pleasant voice and comfortable manner. P.B.J. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Julia Cameron's book The Artist's Way has influenced readers worldwide with her intriguing look at creativity and her week-by-week presentation to unlock ideas and expression. In this program, Cameron presents elements from the book organized around the exercises and discussions of Week 1: "Morning Pages" and Week 7: "Recovering a Sense of Connection." The program may best serve listeners who are already familiar with Cameron's ideas. There's a sense of reviewing familiar points in the selections. Cameron's soft, ethereal voice moves slowly from passage to passage. The recording was made in front of a small group at Cameron's mountain retreat. While an echo indicates the vastness of the space, there's only occasional participation from her companions. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
