'Through verbal experiment as well as critical and historical exposition, this shows how much more there is to notions of creation than creativity as currently understood. It also highlights the crucial contribution of alternative terms such as imagination, inspiration and emergence. Building on the recognition that the ‘create’ terms span discourses ranging from the divine to the human and the artistic to the commercial, there is concerted modeling of a wide variety of contemporary possibilities such as ‘hyper-creation’, ‘de-’ and ‘re-creat-ing’ and ‘post-creatives’. These cue fresh encounters with classic, especially biblical ‘creation’ texts and develop into an expansive program of seriously playful poetics, including ‘diagrammatics’, ‘dialogics’ and a generically hybrid form of ‘con-verse-ation’. The reader is invited to participate as re-writer throughout, so the process is radically recreational and the project openly ongoing.' (Introduction)
