As a multidisciplinary collection of essays derived from the teaching and implementation of Creative Writing at university level, the contributors consider silence as strategic, both through the need for silence and as something which compels resistance. They explore how writing has employed images and tropes of silence in the past, and used silence and gaps technically. In considering marginalised and forgotten voices, this book shows how writers bring their diverse range of backgrounds and experience to work with and against silence in Creative Writing Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first theoretical work on silence in Crea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: On Silence in Language and Writing \u003ci\u003eMoy McCrory and Simon Heywood \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART 1: Silence, Solitude, and Imagination 1. \u003c\/b\u003eDaydreams and Solitude: Working the silent space \u003ci\u003eLuke M.
