This book provides a sustained exploration of creativity. Philip
Gross provides a poem, 'Cave diver in the deep reach', and an
extended commentary on how the poem was written. These are followed
by contributions from typographer Jeremy Tankard, whose unique
'Redisturbed' typeface is used throughout this book, and artist
Rika Newcombe, who provides the cover image. Caves of making offers
the textual equivalent of a creative festival - a festival on the
page. It brings together the work of three remarkable creatives and
offers, in their own words, insights into their creative process.
Philip Gross is a writer of many parts - spanning poetry,
thought-provoking fiction for young people, schools opera libretti,
radio short stories and plays. Collaboration with the visual arts,
dance, music and other art forms has been one of the sources of
energy in his writing life. Jeremy Tankard has built a worldwide
reputation for the high quality and unique designs of his
typefaces. In the development of the Redisturbed typeface chosen
for Caves of making, he wanted to take the idea of a unicase
alphabet much further than previous experiments and treat it as a
conventional text type.Rika Newcombe's paintings have an uncanny
sympathy with the world of creative writing. Images from her work
grace the covers of all books in the Creative Writing Studies
series.
