Interview With Author , Poet Joyce White of St Louis, Missouri

I was born in St. Louis, Missouri, a show-me gal who loves Creative Expression. I went to SIUE and SWIC after I retired from the legal typing profession. I've authored two books, Sculpting the Heart's Poetry, and Sculpting the Heart: Surviving Depression with Art Therapy, many poems, articles and news events on Art Therapy. If you are happy, you will enjoy my books, ebooks and website articles at www.sculptingheheart.com. If you're not happy, you need them. They are filled with inspirational music, poetry, pictures of my clay art work, articles and activities for your inner artist! For me, this book was an exploration, and most of the time, it was an exscuse to live perpetually in fantasyland; a way to avoid all the mental and physical problems of an imperfect world. Every word written is a victory against dysfunction. Not everybody gets a second chance at living a worthwhile life. I thankfully, did. Writing and making art put me in touch with my inner artist who was choking to create a new me, a happy, self-achieving me. I've been slowly and quietly growing and changing into the person I've always wanted to be, a writer, a poet and an authority on surviving depression with Art Therapy. It is my hope this book will help others as much as writing it helped me. I'm Winged for Art Therapy. http://wingedforarttherapy.com/ Nonfiction, Poetry/Art/Art Therapy/Depression/How-to/Self-help
