What is "New" in Non-Fiction? This term I've seen recently used for poetry. And then there is "creative, non-fiction." Huh? What do you think? Is the dividing line between non-fiction and fiction narrowed?

I consider poetry to be fiction, personally. Creative non-fiction sounds like it's mostly true, with maybe some dialogue added, or things slightly out of sequence.

In these days of "fake news", I guess the lines can become blurred.

The only thing I really object to is stories claiming to be true which are not true.

I concur.
