Journeywork, a creative life by Dave Duggan

Dave Duggan presents Journeywork, a Creative Life — thirteen essays that explore the arc of a creative life. Each essay stands alone as a chapter, combining memoir, medical matters and reflections on creative practice and theory. The tone is humane, engaging and serious without being academic.

The book is aimed at adult readers, including practising, emerging and aspiring creatives. It features travel stories interwoven with health challenges, work achievements and personal reflections. It is a case study of how one person creates works of imagination, while earning a living and maintaining a family, with all the ordinary ups and downs of such a life.
