AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Creative writing bears many similarities to the moving body. Well-crafted writing is derived from the senses and follows the body’s natural rhythms. It is animated by the intent or voice of the author and resonates with others on an equally deep and authentic level. Embodied words flow at the right pitch to engage readers in mutually resonating play. Writing creatively involves accessing the body’s natural intelligence to craft words that breathe with life.' (Publication abstract)

Christopher William Edgar Bigsby F.R.S.A. F.R.S.L. Chris Bigsby, biographer, and consummate interviewer of other writers, on stage, on T.V., in literary festivals and in classrooms.
