About the Book
In Crying for a Vision, British-born poet, musician and performance artist Steve Scott offers a challenge to artists and a manifesto for the arts. This new edition includes an introduction and study guide, four newly-collected essays and an interview with the author. Steve Scott is the author of Like a House on Fire: Renewal of the Arts in a Post-modern Culture and The Boundaries.
“Steve Scott is a rare individual who combines a deep love and understanding of Scripture with a passion for the arts.” -Steve Turner, author of Jack Kerouac: Angelheaded Hipster.
“Steve Scott links a number of fields of inquiry that are usually perceived as unrelated. In doing so he hopes to open wider possibilities for Christians in the arts, who may perhaps be relieved to find that, in many ways, they were right all along.” -Rupert Loydell, author of The Museum of Light.
