"Chicken Scratch brings a fun and meaningful mix of advice for those invested in living more creatively. Filled with chicken lore, history, and anecdotes from past and present creatives -- writers, thinkers, teachers, chefs and bakers, cultural influencers, and all manner of people who work out their creativity in unique ways. The creative life can be profound, but also funny, exasperating, and downright weird - much like living with a flock of hens. If we take the time to notice, we have much to learn from our beloved chickens, things like the value of curiosity, how we might welcome challenges in our lives, and even when to let go of perfectionism." -- Provided by publisher.
