Foreword
CREATION NOW WITH WORDS is a primer for encouraging independent thought and research relative to literary, word, form, based on the creative revolution in the arts which took place during the early 20th Century.
Nothing is permanent. Heraclitus
There is no must in art because art is free.
Wassily Kandinsky
Those artists who penetrate to the region of that secret place where primeval power nurtures all evolution. Where the power house of all time and space - call it brain or heart of creation - activates every function; who is the artist who would not dwell there?
Paul Klee
What I write, as I have said before, could only be called poetry because there is no other category in which to put it.
Marianne Moore
I encourage a writer to create, experiment and invent, to fail and succeed, with literary, word, form, to embrace the freedom which exists in each person's unique created individuality.
Yes, there are other serious considerations for a writer such as integrity of language, communication, life truth, which I will not relate here. These must not be forgotten -
Tom Fallon
