Everyday Play by Julian Rothenstein is a joyful call to reclaim creativity in the middle of the everyday. A reminder that life does not need to be so serious. It can be playful. It can be strange. It can be filled with little games that wake up the mind.
Drawing on the words and ideas of writers, artists and philosophers through history, this book invites you to explore creativity as a way of being. Learn how to become someone else for a day, draw a poem, paint a book or reimagine your bookshelves. Discover the Edible Book Game. Play with language you do not understand. Make constraints your playground and turn the ordinary into something wildly new.
Part handbook, part manifesto, part curiosity cabinet, Everyday Play offers a mix of creative prompts and provocations from names like Lewis Carroll, Lydia Davis, Luis Buñuel, Robert Creeley, Erik Satie and many more. Each page nudges you to look again at the way you work, rest and create — and to find delight in the small, surreal and spontaneous.
