description: What happens when a writer runs out of words? Linda Tatelbaum's meditation on ambition and despair tracks her ascent from rock bottom, the wordless place. "English has failed me. Body is the only way out. But how do you speak Body?" Linda's best teacher is a fallen stone wall on her Maine homestead. Rebuilding it, she learns how physics magnifies strength, and how language is another way to move things. "The impossible is only a name for what we haven't yet accomplished," she says. Change the definition of failure and loss. Use obstacles as leverage. Take matter into your own hands, and speak Body English.
