Language is a deep ocean of living words, as varied as undersea life. It is a gift inherited by each person when he or she is born. It is enormous, complex, and inexhaustible gift. The Soul of Creative Writing is a tribute to language and to its potentials. It explores the elements of style, rhythm, sound, meaning and the choice of the right word. Writers and readers will find it an indispensible source of inspiration and instruction. Book jacket.
