Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-29 00:00:00 Yoda Vader I can't fathom how I'm the first reviewer since this book came out a while ago and it is filled with interesting historical examples and forward-thinking reflections on the process of writing. Though Sharples focuses on creative writing at first, what he says is applicable for any classroom setting; therefore, I would highly recommend all collegiate composition instructors to look into it. It is well-informed, interesting, and provides reader-friendly sections and images. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because Sharples sticks with the classic cannon of writers for examples, when we have contemporary writers such as Stephen King who greatly contribute to concepts of writing by sharing their processes.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-04-23 00:00:00 Kazuya Kuwabara I'm finding the stuff on urban nature writing to be particularly compelling, given the population I work with. The ideas are practical and the text doesn't talk down to teachers. Already, I have one good idea for a poetry lesson and another for a vignette assignment.
