Barry's oxymoronic view of the aesthetic atmosphere drives liberally in a radical world of writing. His poignant and precise touch on the nebulous line that divides and encompasses the writing and visual arts and poetry, is a phenomenal explication on the spirit and presence that can strike us all dumbfounded when gawking and drooling at colorful oprah. He takes a painting and expounds on it thoroughly enough to encapsulate even the ignorant, and even his tone and rhythm musically provide a contextual creation. His work, in itself, is a piece of art.

This book is amazing, it brought me up from being completely uncreative to being a wonderful artist. I don't know where I would be right now if I had not read this book. It is completely and utterly flush, and I recommend it to everyone. Barry Rules!

Never before have I been able to learn so much by simply reading a book. Barry Gilmore's book with its stunning insights into the world of creative writing has taken my own writing to new heights. I would strongly advise all aspiring young writers to read this book. Even veteran writers would do well to read this book and learn a few new tricks.

This is a comprehensive text about teaching creative writing; it's well-written, entertaining, and very informative. (It also contains two pieces of my writing and a piece by a friend of mine, so I don't have complete objectivity, but I still think it's a great book.) It's written by one my former English teacher, and he's an excellent one, so who better than he to write a book about creative writing?

Being a student of Barry Gilmore's english course, i can honestly tell you that "G" is an astoundigly talented teacher and writer. In the class room Gilmore instills his lessons in an attractive and interesting manner, and his book is no different. This mass of pages will undoubtedly assist writers of any age to become more talented. Gilmore is where it's at, and if you can't dig it, then doom on you!

This book opened my eyes to the world of writing. I loved it and I want to marry Barry Gilmore, the hottest author in the universe. Marry me, Barry. Love, your secret admirer

Barry Gilmore is da bomb (doo dah doo dah) He writes with verve and aplomb (all the doo dah day)

HAHAHHA

BARRY GILMORE.. THE BEST AUTHOR IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAS GRACIOUSLY GIVEN HIS TIME AND EFFORT (INCLUDING A GOOD REVIEW) SO NOW I AM RETURNING THE FAVOR AND THE REVIEW. THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ FOR ALL THOSE Drawing the Line : Creative Writing Through the Visual and Performing Arts PEOPLE. I TRULY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ALL AND ESPECIALLY TO ALL THOSE LITTLE ASPIRING CELTIC MUSICIANS. WE HOPE ONE DAY THAT HIS (BARRY GILMORE) TEACHINGS WILL UNITE THIS WORLD UNDER ONE BELIEF, THAT IS THAT FLUSH IS A "COOL" WORD.

Barry Gilmore is so Flush!!!! This is a super book, written by someone who had I Love Barry written on a trash can for him. If that doesn't show devotion, I don't know what does.
