Harper’s refreshing focus on creative writing as activities infuses his book with value: when he writes about 'structuring' and 'ending', he means writerly actions rather than features of texts. If you, in the author’s words, 'yearn for knowledge' and 'seek understanding' of creative writing processes, this is your book.
