Jules Swales describes the method and the exercises at the beginning of each week so that you can see what the students were up to and be surprised by what showed up. Each piece is a profound and individual expression brought about through the straightforward techniques of JGMW. Whilst the authors have studied the Method Writing for around two years, every piece in this book was written in the five-week period of one summer refresher class. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"The writers in this book speak as human beings, as all of us, caught in this thing we call life, a shimmering kind of experience between our being born and our passing away.
