Clearing the space

"Clearing the Space: A Why of Writing meditates on the needs and desires of those who - like Le Marquand Hartigan - try to make sense of life through creativity. Her view is from the particular perspective of women. She acknowledges the space needed for the free movement of the imagination, the difficulty in finding this space, and the fear of the space itself. She shows that the making of a creative work has healing power which may actually encourage reconciliation with, and, understanding of, the emotions we fear." --Book Jacket.
