Why? Because, in this book, Natalie Goldberg doesn’t hold anything back. I had to force myself not to read straight through this book in one sitting. Goldberg has been a serious Zen practitioner since 1974 and studied with Katagiri Roshi from 1978 to 1984. The film can be obtained on Amazon or the website. In 2006, she completed with the filmmaker Mary Feidt a one-hour documentary, Tangled Up in Bob, about Bob Dylan's childhood on the Iron Range in Northern Minnesota. She also leads national workshops and retreats, and her schedule can be accessed via her website: They can also be viewed at the Ernesto Mayans Gallery on Canyon Road in Sante Fe.Ī dedicated teacher, Goldberg has taught writing and literature for the last thirty-five years. Goldberg has painted for as long as she has written, and her paintings can be seen in Living Color: A Writer Paints Her World and Top of My Lungs: Poems and Paintings. She received a BA in English literature from George Washington University and an MA in humanities from St. She thinks that single book led her eventually to put pen to paper when she was twenty-four years old. From a young age, Goldberg was mad for books and reading, and especially loved Carson McCullers's The Ballad of the Sad Cafe, which she read in ninth grade. Natalie Goldberg lived in Brooklyn until she was six, when her family moved out to Farmingdale, Long Island, where her father owned the bar the Aero Tavern.
