Fanny Brewster
I'm a Writer of Poetry and Nonfiction. In addition, I work within a Jungian analytical practice with individuals. I enjoy music, theatre, books--all things cultural since a young age. I also especially enjoy speaking with others in lectures and workshops about topics of interest at the crossroads of Jungian Psychology, Dreamwork, Creativity and Ethnic Studies.

Biography
I've always enjoyed reading stories since I was a young child. When I think about areas in which I have worked as an adult and gained life experiences all of them have allowed me to be engaged in language and storytelling--Theatre, Counseling and Writing. I have been writing poetry and stories for a very long time. I have studied Storytelling and acquired a B.A. degree in Literature because it seem the natural thing to do following high school. I guess I'm a lover of words. So then it seems natural to become a Taylor & Francis Author.Education
