Just a friendly addition/correction. My Linklater text from college is 
titled "Freeing the Natural Voice", Not Finding the Natural voice, so 
if you are scannning by title this may help. It is also possible she 
changed the title somewhere along the line, so both may work? I like 
the book partly because it is so good, and partly because it credits Dr 
Tom Shipp, and I grew up with his daughter Nancy. Really extended 
nepotism....
