"This pioneering book introduces students to the practice and art of
creative writing and creative reading. It offers a fresh, distinctive and
beautifully written synthesis of the discipline. David Morley discusses
where creative writing comes from, the various forms and camouflages
it has taken, and why we teach and learn the arts of fiction, poetry and
creative nonfiction. He looks at creative writing in performance; as
public art, as visual art, as e-literature and as an act of community. As a
leading poet, critic and award-winning teacher of the subject, Morley
finds new engagements for creative writing in the creative academy and
within science. Accessible, entertaining and groundbreaking, The
Cambridge Introduction to Creative Writing is not only a useful textbook
for students and teachers of writing, but also an inspiring read in its own
right. Aspiring authors and teachers of writing will find much to
discover and enjoy."
