Written in clear and accessible language, this book will appeal to professional and community based artists who work in a wide variety of genres, scholars from creative fields, and both students and teachers at all levels of education who are interested in generating, developing, and disseminating artist work inspired by personal narratives."--Page [4] of cover.
