It is a caution that, in addition to applying to the study of art and nature, might also apply to our investigation of the creative process, which has engaged the meddling minds of many. the process involved in literary creation, in particular, has fascinated many ordinary people, as well as a great many psychologists and philosophers, from Plato on. The variety of approach and style in Writing Fiction and Poetry extends also to gender and experience. The book contains essays and interviews of 12 internationally-known North Carolina writers.
