MYTH, MAGIC, and METAPHOR takes the reader on a journey. This book was not written to provide answers. It was written to provoke questions and ignite the imagination while examining history, art, literature, philosophy, mathematics, and music as components of the creative process. It is a voyage of discovery, and maybe its real goal is simply the joy of knowing the journey will never end! Patricia Daly-Lipe encourages us, "to experience the sense of wonder we knew as children, to use our imagination, to feel and absorb the world around us, to listen, not just to hear, to see, not just to look; in sum, to become intoxicated with life.

I have added this book to my Creative Writing shelf!

A superb handbook in that every chapter offers a great deal of food for thought. There are nuggets of wisdom in every paragraph, bite-size quotes from artists, philosophers, and authors the world over, strung together to stimulate the reader’s (student’s) mind.
In chapter 7, The Mystery, Patricia talks about the ‘intelligence of the universe’ and that topic, more than the others, spoke to me because I believe we are one with the world—humankind.
We share in a collective wisdom and as artists we contribute our genetic memories through writing, painting, etc., in the hopes that they might resonate with like-minded others.
“Myth, Magic, and Metaphor” is like a personal Creative Writing course that I will revisit often. It is so encouraging to be affirmed in one’s artistic journey and Patricia’s book has done just that!
