All Writing is Travel Writing
I’ve been thinking about using this tumblr site for my personal writing since, according to Philip Graham, all writing is travel writing.
“I’ve come to the conclusion that all writing, whether non-fiction, fiction or poetry, is a type of travel writing, and that a reader experiences an imaginative or literary work as a form of travel. That experience, of course, is often interior: a journey through a narrator’s thoughts, the discovery of empathy for an initially unsympathetic character, or tracking the unfolding flight of a poem’s central metaphor.”
