Creative Sparks
Six books to inspire you to make, explore, and learn.
An unforgettable monthlong road trip, where the road itself (specifically, the many rest stops nestled alongside) is the destination. Quite a blend of travelogue, memoir, and experiment in living.
Short stories by one of my favorite authors, who, as herein proved, is not only a master of worlds and words, but an unheralded sci-fi savant.
An introduction to the complexities of astrophysics and the topology of the universe, through an engaging diaristic form.
Learn about the creative powers of improvisation. Much more than simply advice for the theater; this book goes into things like status and power dynamics, fostering spontaneity, and the use of trance states.
Notes on film editing from the man widely regarded as the greatest ever to practice that underrecognized art.
Remarkable portrait of the developing life of an incredible artist in mid-20th century New York, and the growth of a beautiful friendship.
