Passengers on the British railway and underground must 'mind the
gap' because it's dangerous not to. In a state of embarking or
disembarking, passengers must stay aware of the small but
significant space separating the stationary from the moving. The
contemporary practices of writing and reading are in constant
motion, and the phrase 'mind the gap' captures an essential aspect
of the way language and literature progress as they pass through
any number of social, technical, and political exchanges. 'Minding
the gap' also suggests an awareness of the always shifting distance
between the expected and the unexpected, the ordinary and the
impossible, the familiar and unimagined.This book includes chapters
on writing non-fiction, media and genre, and also addresses
elements of identity, culture and linguistics in fiction, poetry
and creative non-fiction as contributors consider the gaps that
exist between the self as writer, as reader and as editor or
mentor.The volume adopts the following key themes:* new gaps for
creative writing in the academy;* writing in new genres, media and
forms;* exploring the creative process and narrative strategies
across disciplines.This book will be of international appeal to all
readers interested in the changing landscape of creative writing.
