Religion and Community -- Chapter 12: The Radical Tradition Today -- Conclusions and Occlusions. 330 $aTradition 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. 606 $aCreative writing 606 $aEducation in literature 606 $aLiterary form 606 $aArt$xStudy and teaching 606 $aJournalism$xAuthorship 606 $aPenmanship 606 $aCreative Writing 606 $aLiterature and Pedagogy 606 $aLiterary Genre 606 $aCreativity and Arts Education 606 $aWriting and Reporting 606 $aWriting Skills 615 0$aCreative writing. 615 0$aEducation in literature. 615 0$aLiterary form. 615 0$aArt$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aJournalism$xAuthorship. 615 0$aPenmanship. 615 14$aCreative Writing. 615 24$aLiterature and Pedagogy. 615 24$aLiterary Genre. 615 24$aCreativity and Arts Education. 615 24$aWriting and Reporting. 615 24$aWriting Skills. 676 $a808.02 676 $a808.02 700 $aMay$b Adrian$0849231 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495185103321 996 $aTradition in Creative Writing$92084152 997 $aUNINA
