Creativity and the Artist in the Modern World
A manifesto of sorts for anyone who makes art [and] cares for it. -Zadie SmithThe best book I know of for talented but unacknowledged creators. . . .

Über den Autor
Lewis Hyde was born in Boston in 1945 and studied at both Minnesota and Iowa universities. His hugely acclaimed essay, Alcohol and Poetry: John Berryman and the Booze Talking, in part sprang out of his experiences as an alcoholism counselor, but he is also a highly regarded poet in his own right whose poetry and essays have been widely published. He is a MacArthur Fellow, a former director of creative writing at Harvard and, alongside The Gift, he is the author of the equally acclaimed Trickster Makes This World. He lives in Ohio, where he is completing a third book.
