<P>As practitioner-researchers, how do we discuss and analyse our work without losing the creative drive that inspired us in the first place?</P>
<P>Built around a diverse selection of writings from leading researcher-practitioners and emerging artists in a&nbsp;variety of fields, <I>The Creative Critic: Writing as/about Practice </I>celebrates the extraordinary range of possibilities available when writing about one's own work and the work one is inspired by. It re-thinks the conventions of the scholarly output to propose that critical writing be understood as an integral part of the artistic process, and even as artwork in its own right.</P>
<P>Finding ways to make the intangible nature of much of our work 'count' under assessment has become increasingly important in the Academy and beyond. <I>The Creative Critic</I> offers an inspiring and useful sourcebook for students and practitioner-researchers navigating this area.</P>
