"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
