Great Space of Desire: Writing for Personal Evolution

By Dara J. Lurie

In Great Space of Desire: Writing for Personal Evolution, creative writing innovator and memoirist, Dara Lurie guides readers in discovering for themselves how the craft of writing can lead to personal evolution.

Great Space of Desire covers Dara Lurie's own personal evolution - from growing up in a biracial and bi-religious family in New York City in the '60s and '70s, to losing her father at a very young age, living in an orphanage, and an intricately complicated relationship with her ballerina mother and with dance itself. Lurie, through her own messy and complex life chapters, shows readers and writers alike how to look at their lives for story and perception.

While sharing her own stories, Lurie invites readers to explore and write about their own life experience in creative worksheets. Through these unique explorations into personal reality, Great Space of Desire promises to help readers tap into their own personal evolution.
