Article abstractJeannette Armstrong speaks about the challenges that her different forms ofdiscourse (the novel, poetry, visual art, music) present. Each work has aseparate set of responsibilities, but she has trouble separating the disciplinesbecause the creative process does not differentiate. Across all of her works, shefinds ways to deliver information or to create a point of view which requiresan emotional response as well as an intellectual response.
