Unit: Creative Nonfiction Creative nonfiction borrows heavily from poetry and literary fiction, which feature language mastery. A writer must use clever turns of phrase, make intelligent and creative word choices, and build sentences, paragraphs - an entire piece - that does more than present the straight, nonfiction facts.
