Overview

Over one million readers have come to know and love the work of Julia Cameron. Her national best-seller, The Artist's Way, tapped into the spirit of our age, taking creativity back from "artists" and returning it to people from every walk of life. Now this acclaimed writer reveals another dimension of her own creative life, which again taps into a growing cultural current: the power of the spoken word to sanctify our most personal visions and experiences.

Recorded over a seven-day period in a studio cloistered in the high Rockies, This Earth fuses Cameron's poetry with a delicate "planetary mass" by virtuoso flautist and composer Tim Wheater. Together these two unique artists vivify the elemental forces that shape our common wonder at the greater mysteries of existence. Here is a rich celebration of language and melody that evokes the past and future of our bodies and our earth, transporting listeners into the territory of totems, dreams, and memory. This Earth is a landmark in poetry's post-modern renaissance, mirroring its unlimited possibilities for transformation of self and civilization. Contains 30 poems by Julia Cameron with original score and flute by Tim Wheater.

I love Julia Cameron's work but this book sucked. Too artsy fartsy and came off soooo phoney. I am so tired of authors doing what recording artists do - they are in such a hurry to get out their work for the money they sacrifice their quality and we pay for it - figuratively and literally. Some substance please - the readers are reading.
