Can the gulf that exists between English convention and creative writing ever blend?
With creative writing course springing up in so many of our academic institutions in the US, there might be an underlying stream of discouragment, devaluation and discrimination that marginalizes works of literature fashioned outside of convention. As contradictory as it may seem, creative writing often functions visibly as a noteworthy part of academia, but remains invisible as a part of the discipline. While creative writing should be widely accepted as a literary art form that confirms the richness of culture, and establishes a voice that is worthy of an audience, the rigidity within so much of the academic approach often strangles out the voice of cultural expression, greatly reducing the importance of such works of art. Do you think Academia in America has opened a can of worms with their attempts to market creative writing programs? Is the blending of convention and unconvention something attainable within the two worlds?
