Publisher's Synopsis
Novelist, poet, singer, drummer and journalist Michael J. Vaughn conducts a thorough inquiry into the world of creativity, including the perspectives of such wide-ranging artists as Molly Ringwald, David Baldacci, science essayist Diane Ackerman, poet laureate Charles Simic, opera singer Betany Coffland and ballerina Karen Gabay. The book includes several of Vaughn's articles for Writer's Digest, including "Creative Lollygagging," "Anatomy of a Best-Seller" and "Meeting of the Minds," an exploration of left-brain/right-brain discoveries with pioneering brain science author Gabriele Rico. Less a "how-to" than a "why-not?," Interplay illustrates the many faces of creativity and the thrills and struggles of the artistic life.
