Author and movement teacher, Kristin Linklater, has spent decades exploring the connection between language and the body. Through her extensive research and practice, she has developed a unique lexicon that empowers writers to harness the physicality of words to enhance their storytelling.

Words as Embodiments: A Novel Perspective

The Writer Body Lexicon challenges traditional notions of language, presenting it as an embodiment rather than a disembodied concept. Linklater invites writers to consider how words resonate within their bodies, how they evoke physical sensations, and how they influence their posture, breath, and movement.

By approaching language from this embodied perspective, writers gain a deeper understanding of the impact words have on themselves and their readers. They become more attuned to the subtle nuances of language, allowing them to craft prose that resonates on multiple levels.

Expanding the Lexicon: Enriching Your Writing Vocab

The Writer Body Lexicon provides a comprehensive exploration of the body's vocabulary, introducing a vast array of terms and concepts that expand the writer's arsenal of expressive tools. From "the bone of the word" to "the flutter of the heart," Linklater's lexicon empowers writers to describe the body in vivid, evocative, and often surprising ways.

This expanded vocabulary allows writers to transcend the limitations of conventional language, unlocking a realm of possibilities for describing the human experience in all its complexity and nuance.

Embodied Writing: Unleashing Your Creative Potential

The Writer Body Lexicon is not merely a theoretical exploration; it is a practical guide that empowers writers to embody their words and unleash their creative potential. Linklater provides a series of exercises and techniques designed to cultivate awareness of the body's response to language.

Through these exercises, writers learn to connect their breath to their writing, engage their sensory perceptions, and explore the physicality of movement in relation to storytelling. By embodying their words, they gain a newfound ability to communicate with authenticity, depth, and resonance.

Transformative Storytelling: Impacting Your Audience on a Visceral Level

The Writer Body Lexicon empowers writers to create narratives that transcend the page and reach readers on a visceral level. By harnessing the body's lexicon, writers can craft stories that resonate with the reader's physicality, evoking sensations, emotions, and memories that linger long after the last word is read.

This transformative storytelling technique allows writers to create immersive experiences that captivate readers, leaving them feeling connected, moved, and profoundly impacted by the power of words.

The Writer Body Lexicon is an indispensable resource for writers seeking to elevate their craft and forge a deeper connection between language and the body. By providing a rich vocabulary, practical exercises, and a transformative approach to storytelling, Linklater empowers writers to explore the boundless possibilities of embodied language.

Embark on this journey of discovery and unlock the transformative power of the Writer Body Lexicon. Let words become your tools, your paintbrushes, your instruments, and together, let us weave narratives that resonate with the very essence of human existence.
