The Fiery Muse

The Fiery Muse weaves the stories of the impassioned lives of great visionaries, such as St. Hildegard of Bingen, Rumi and Walt Whitman, together with those of everyday people who range from teachers and homemakers to artists and actors to show how the creative spirit can transform your life. Also included are the stories of the celebrated: British composer John Tavener describes how he is steeped in the holy ethos of his work; renowned Jungian analyst Marion Woodman explains how embracing images from our unconscious can unleash powerful waves of creativity; and ground-breaking Sylvia Fraser illustrates how the creative process can heal wounds we never even knew we had.
