TRADITION IN CREATIVE WRITING - ADRIAN MAY KART...

Tradition in Creative Writing: Finding Inspiration Through Your Roots encourages writers to
rediscover sources of creativity in the everyday  showing students how to see your writing as
connected to your life. Adrian May addresses a key question for many beginning writers: Where
do you get your ideas from? May argues that tradition does not mean anti-progress-but is
instead a kind of hidden wealth that stems from literary and historical traditions  folk and
songs  self and nature  and community. By drawing on these personal and traditional wellsprings
of inspiration  writers will learn to see their writing as part of a greater continuum of
influences and view their work as having innate value as part of that cultural and artistic
ecology. Each chapter includes accessible discussion  literary and critical readings  creative
examples  and writing exercises. While the creative examples are drawn from song lyrics and
poetry  the writing exercises are appropriate for all genres. Undergraduates and practitioners
will benefit from this guide to finding originality in writing through exploring sources of
creative inspiration.
