Reviews

"Creative Writing Pedagogies for the Twenty-First Century is a smart collection that offers new ways of thinking about creative writing pedagogy and the field. Readers will appreciate the wide breadth of subject areas and knowledge presented by these writing teacher-scholars."--Dianne Donnelly, author of Establishing Creative Writing Studies as an Academic Discipline
"The 12 essays survey various approaches to creative writing pedagogy as a means to reconsider and challenge the hegemony of the traditional workshop. Borrowing from established critical approaches--composition studies, rhetoric, critical literacy, writing center theory, basic writing, feminism--the compilation as a whole provides ample resources for creative writing instructors to reconsider the dynamics and aims of the creative writing classroom and its students. Each chapter describes or provides an appendix for specific activities and assignments that can be used as supplements in established courses; in addition, some of the contributors offer glimpses of radically transformed creative-writing learning spaces."--CHOICE magazine
