Nothing kills radiance like the murky, generic language dominating today's talk, airwaves, and posts. It tugs at our every sentence, but using it to express anything beyond the ordinary is like flapping the tongue to escape gravity. The Elements of Expression offers an adventurous and inspiring flight into words that truly share what's percolating in our minds. Here writers, presenters, students, bloggers—even well intentioned Mad Men—will discover language to convey precise feelings, move audiences, delight and persuade. No snob or scold, the acclaimed word-maven Arthur Plotnik explores the full range of expressiveness, from playful tough talk to finely wrought literature, with hundreds of rousing examples. Confessing that we are all like a squid in its ink when first groping for luminous expression, he shines his amiable wit on the elements leading, ultimately, to language of fissionable intensity.
