Reviews for Poetics of the Creative Process
The three appendixes—exercises, a one-act monologue, and a text analysis—will interest young playwrights in particular, but this is not a set of directions for beginnning dramatists. Rather, it is a meditation on craft.Summing Up: RECOMMENDED. Lower-/upper-division undergraduates and graduate students.
