The Mythopoetic Writing Movement
“Mythopoetic” comes from the Greek μυθοποιία (muthopoiía), meaning the art of myth making. In the Universal Grammar of Story, mythopoetic writing means orchestrating the critical mythic elements of
- archetypal figures (be they fantastical in fiction or quite real in nonfiction)
- dialectical forces of character chemistry
- the building blocks of story structure
- rhythm of timing
- the unconscious presentation of a single beloved moral from universally accepted mystical philosophy.
- society’s need for a given story
- the writer’s need for a given story
