Marilyn Stablein left Berkeley as a teenager to travel
overland to India. After seven years in the Himalayas in the
post-Beat 1960's she wrote Sleeping in Caves, a memoir, The Census
Taker Traveler's Tales, and Night Travels to Tibet an ongoing
sequence of prose poems based on dreams.
"The funniest, best, truest (and secretly truest) writing ever done
on life in India" --Gary Snyder
Splitting Hard Ground: New Poems won the New Mexico Book Award and
the National Federation of Press Women Award. She is also a widely
exhibited visual artist working with artist books many of which are
based on her collage journals. She teaches her popular memoir
workshop "Looking Back/Looking Within: Writing Your Life Stories"
and is a frequent speaker and reader at schools, colleges and
libraries around the country and abroad.
"[Stablein] brings a fresh, appreciative eye to a set of national
images . . . her ironic stance provides a novel experience." --
Publisher's Weekly
"Stablein has applied her whimsical Western eye to the mystical
East . . . conveying so much droll irony in that simple
juxtaposition of viewpoints." -- Quarterly West
