WINNER OF THE 2022 NORTHWORDS BOOK AWARD
Stories are medicine. During a time of heightened isolation, bestselling author Richard Van Camp shares what he knows about the power of storytelling--and offers some of his own favourite stories from Elders, friends, and family. Gathering around a campfire, or the dinner table, we humans have always told stories. Through them, we define our identities and shape our understanding of the world. Master storyteller and bestselling author Richard Van Camp writes of the power of storytelling and its potential to transform speakers and audiences alike. In Gather, Van Camp shares what elements make a compelling story and offers insights into basic storytelling techniques, such as how to read a room and how to capture the attention of listeners. And he delves further into the impact storytelling can have, helping readers understand how to create community and how to banish loneliness through their tales. A member of the Tlicho Dene First Nation, Van Camp also includes stories from Elders whose wisdom influenced him. During a time of uncertainty and disconnection, stories reach across vast distances to offer connection. Gather is a joyful reminder of this for storytellers: all of us.Languages:EnglishPublisher:University of Regina PressISBN-13:9780889778047ISBN-10:0889778043UPC:9780889778047Book Category:Language Arts & Disciplines, Social Science, Performing ArtsBook Subcategory:Writing, Indigenous Studies, StorytellingSize:8.50 x 5.50 x 0.63 inchesWeight:0.418Product ID:SC1QJMG9ZY
