Inside the mind of every writer a story exists, and it is the writer's job to find it. But according to poet and teacher Patrice Vecchione, it's only when writers tap into their own spirituality, in whatever form, that they'll be able to find their true voices and release their stories.

In the tradition of Anne Lamott's best-selling "Bird by Bird," and Julia Cameron's "The Right to Write," "Writing and the Spiritual Life" interweaves the remarks of prominent writers such as Annie Dillard and Joy Marjo with easy-to-follow writing activities.
