'Creativity in Language and Literature is a
provocative and valuable book. Its breadth of topics,
variety of approaches, and self-consciously creative and
dialogic nature are especially appropriate and creative
ways of approaching the subject of creativity. The
scope, variety and original content of this book make it
a unique contribution to the field' - Professor David L.
Hoover, New York University, USA This unique resource
brings together contributions from creative
practitioners and academic researchers working across
different disciplines. Researchers, literary authors,
editors, performers and film makers reflect on their
work and collectively explore the art of creativity in
language and literature. Creativity in Language and
Literature covers a range of texts, genres and
practices, such as poetry, hip hop, film, story telling,
web chat and pen-friend correspondence. Each part of the
book begins with an introduction and the final part
includes critical responses to the idea of linguistic
creativity, encouraging ongoing dialogue and debate.
This richly diverse collection is an ideal text for
students and practitioners working at all levels.With
