Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way, reveals a deeply personal poetry collection drawn from the Morning Pages that shaped her creative life.For more than a generation, Julia Cameron has helped millions of readers unlock their creativity through
The Artist’s Way and the life‑changing practice of Morning Pages. Now, for the first time, she opens those private notebooks to reveal a hidden dimension of her artistry: her poetry.
Written without an audience in mind, the poems in
My Secret Life: Poems from Morning Pages offer an unguarded record of a creative life lived on the page. Intimate and unsparing, they move through experiences of love and rupture, desire and devotion, solitude and spiritual inquiry—tracing the inner weather of an artist listening closely to her own truth.
This collection includes:
- 80+ poems drawn from Julia Cameron’s own Morning Pages
- Work written across decades, offering a rare view of an artist’s becoming
- An intimate portrait of Cameron’s private creative practice
- An appendix of themed poetry writing prompts
With the same candor and creative courage that made
The Artist’s Way a classic, Cameron invites readers into a more personal exchange.
My Secret Life asks one essential question—
What is my secret life?—and invites readers to open the book, take up the page, and begin answering for themselves.
