Changing Creative Writing in America

Reviews / Votes

This book arrives at a fortunate moment for anyone interested in Creative Writing Studies. As issues of disciplinary identity and institutional positioning are being brought in sharp focus by changes in universities and the culture at large, this book raises important questions about potential futures for Creative Writing. The authors, coming from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, survey, but also push against, the boundaries of theory, policy, and writing practice to explore the landscape of Creative Writing in the contemporary university in ways that are rigorously intellectual and bountifully creative. * Bronwyn T. Williams, University of Louisville, USA * Notable for their variety of subjects and differences in approach but all gorgeously written, the chapters in this book ask us to consider how we educate our students, how we think about our artistic practice, how we consider and write our history, and what our place in the academy is and should be. Both practically and theoretically useful, this book will convince you that the questions it poses, and begins to try to answer, are important ones. * Katharine Coles, University of Utah, USA *
