Hi there,

Today I am delighted to be arts calling author, yogi, and writing teacher Jennifer Lang! (israelwriterstudio.com/about)

About our guest: Born in the San Francisco Bay Area, Jennifer Lang lives in Tel Aviv, where she runs Israel Writers Studio. Her prize-winning essays appear in Baltimore Review, Under the Sun, Midway Journal, and elsewhere. She holds an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and served as an Assistant Editor at Brevity. Her first book, Places We Left Behind: a memoir-in-miniature, is followed by Landed: A yogi's memoir in pieces & poses, both with Vine Leaves Press. Places was a Finalist in the Foreword Reviews Book Awards, among others. Both books are available at Vine Leaves Press, Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, and other online retailers.

LANDED: A YOGI'S MEMOIR IN PIECES AND POSES, now available from Vine Leaves Press! https://vineleavespress.myshopify.com/products/landed-a-yogi-s-memoir-in-pieces-poses-by-jennifer-lang

ABOUT LANDED: In experimental chapterettes, American-born Jennifer traces her nonlinear journey—both on and off the yoga mat—reckoning with her adopted country (Israel), midlife hormones (merciless), cross-cultural marriage (to a Frenchman) and their imminent empty nest (a mixed blessing), eventually realizing the words her yoga teachers had been offering for the past twenty-three years: root down into the ground and stay true to yourself. Finally, she understands that home is about who you are, not where you live. Landed: A yogi’s memoir in pieces & poses spans seven years (and then some), each punctuated with chakra wisdom from nationally-acclaimed Rodney Yee, her first teacher.

Thanks for this catching up, Jennifer! All the best!
