Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A very nice copy without flaw. 6.5 X 8" 187 pages. Ross Laird holds an MA in Psychology and a PhD in Creative Process. A poet and a craftsman living in Vancouver, he teaches creativity, counseling and psychology. On the surface, Grain of Truth is a simple book in which Laird describes, with eloquence and precision the practical process by which he makes objects out of wood. However, as the narrative unfolds it becomes clear that Laird is invoking something deeper - that he is, in fact examining the universal meaning of craft and creativity. By chronicling his own experiences working with his hands, Laird opens a gateway into wonder and the discovery of the roots of creativity. **Bundle Up & Save on Postage**. Seller Inventory # 578801
