'This article introduces the first of two TEXT special issues designed to survey attitudes toward, and enactments of, creativecritical writing now. Alongside an essaying of a major theme within this special issue – the ways in which creativecritical writing exposes the space of its construction – it offers the first part of a conversation between the two editors of the special issues, Stefanie Markidis and Daniel Juckes, as they plan/speak through their introduction, and what they feel their takeaways are from the exercise of assembling the issues. This attempt, which was transcribed through Microsoft Teams and then edited for clarity, continues in the introduction to the second special issue: “Creativecritical selves: interconnection, dialogue, entanglement, love”.' (Publication summary)
