His experience as a practitioner qualifies Peterson to teach about the creative process even though he is not classically trained or academically lettered. He has "written a few hundred songs, played a few thousand concerts, written a handful of books, and executive produced an animated short film based on those books" (p. ix). He's also the founder of a creative community known as The Rabbit Room. In sum, this book offers a look into Peterson's "faltering journey as a songwriter, storyteller, and Christian" (p. xiii). Part personal memoir and part instruction about the creative process, Adorning the Dark is a helpful and insightful guide for aspiring artists, musicians, and creatives. |

On the other hand, Peterson is a practitioner who has great experience doing these creative things.
