The Turning is a collection of fifty poems from internationally bestelling author Joanne Fedler's life to celebrate her 50th birthday. Many of them catch small moments of transformation, as an ending slipped into a new beginning, a choice ruptured the past or a realisation burst an illusion. Some touch on transitions, gateways, moments of leave-taking, sometimes from a self the author was abandoning. The author examines motherhood, solitude, writing and death all of which take her into the deep questions she has about what it means to be a person.

The Turning: Poems from my life on my 50th birthday

Literature & Fiction

Poetry

We either think our lives are so special that everyone should be interested in what’s happened to us, or so ordinary that we can’t imagine anyone would care. The truth lies somewhere in between: yes, we are all special, and no, people will notcare—unless we write with them in mind.Joanne Fedler, a beloved writing teacher and mentor, has written Your Story to help all people, even those who don’t necessarily identify as "writers," value their life stories and write them in such a way that they transcend the personal and speak into a universal story. This book shows how to write from your life, but for the benefit of others. Each human life is unique, and the meaning we each make from our joys and suffering can, if written with a reader in mind, be an act of generosity and sharing. Filled with practical wisdom and tools, the book tackles: •mindset issues that prevent us from writing •ways to develop trust (in yourself, the process, the mystery) •triggers or prompts to elicit our own stories •Joanne’s original techniques for "lifewriting" developed over a decade of teaching and mentoring •and much more"Joanne understands the writer’s loneliness," says one such writer whose life she’s touched, the award-winning Israeli author Nava Semel. "In this book she has created a menu of encouraging possibilities on how to overcome our fears and dig deep into our souls, so that our true voice can emerge."

By the time Joanne Fedler's 40th birthday loomed, she'd had it with several trouble-makers who'd been wreaking havoc in the kingdom of her heart for too long. It was time to deport them. In what she initially took to be an unrelated impulse, she figured she could also start to care again about how she looked before the fatty deposits on her rear-end fossilized. And that's where the idea behind When Hungry, Eat began. Or so she thought. She started a new eating plan ("a ridiculous euphemism for self-imposed starvation") which took her on a route to a much Greater Hunger—as Lauren van der Post calls it—which had nothing to do with food. What began as a mission to get back into a bikini became a pilgrimage back to faith, which had not been on either her food list or her itinerary. When Hungry, Eat is a celebration of unexpected spiritual wisdom, small portions, and the gifts of hunger.

<b>Funny, thoughtful, and often inspiring, this story is for every woman who has ever thought about giving up on love and even hope, but chooses not to</b> At 34, Faith Roberts isn't so different from most women her age. Okay, so her cleavage is rather disappointing and she's still single, but she has a busy job, the usual dysfunctional family, a clinically depressed best friend, and a younger sister who is getting breast implants as an engagement present—practically normal.<br>Faith used to think about falling in love, but that was a long time ago. As a counselor in a women's crisis center, she's heard one too many love-gone-wrong stories, so it's hard for her not to give up on the big things, like love, hope, and trust—let alone the chance of getting a decent haircut or meeting a halfway normal guy. Then one night, an odd twist of fate finds Faith in a situation that transforms her life, bringing her to finally understand what she has always needed to know: that before you can save others, you have to save yourself. This beautifully written, big-hearted love story will resonate with any woman who has thought about giving up on love and hope, but chooses not to.
