Recenzii

Perhaps strong above all is this text's emphasis on process (e.g., the importance of freewriting) as well as the richness of the instruction throughout that seems to come from tearing down the wall between composition and 'creative' writing. Freedom at last!"
I find this text to be applicable to both expository and creative writing classes, and it's great that the text can bridge these different aspects of writing instruction. . . . This text is in many ways new in its approach, and I think its innovative nature is most welcome in the world of textbooks."
