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.
