Book Description

Publication Date: July 8, 1997

Poet, playwright, novelist and essayist Deena Metzger has been an inspiration to thousands of women from the first publication of Tree, the 1978 journal in which she recorded her struggle with breast cancer. In this new volume, Tree is placed in the context of Metzger's major statements on healing. This is the material from which Metzger has pioneered her acclaimed "Healing Stories," a method of inquiring into the stories we customarily tell ourselves to find the real story that may contain the key to our psychological and physical healing, forging links between our personal, political and social personas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deena Metzger is a force of nature!!!, February 19, 2008

RitualsOfHealing.com (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tree: Essays and Pieces (Paperback)

Deena Metzger's "Tree" is excellent. This woman is a force of nature and truly inspiring. I've also heard Metzger speak on the recording, "Cancer as a Turning Point". She is strong, articulate and moving.
I think her book is inspiring for other woman suffering the pain, loss and ultimately the TRANSFORMATION that breast cancer brings.
Love and Light,
Regina
