A practical response to the challenges of teaching creative writing
How can students with widely varied levels of literary experience learn to write poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and drama — over the course of only one semester? In Creative Writing: Four Genres in Brief, David Starkey offers some solutions to the challenges of teaching the introductory creative writing course: (1) concise, accessible instruction in literary basics; (2) short models of literature to analyze, admire and emulate; (3) inventive and imaginative assignments that inspire and motivate.
"Its welcoming, upbeat, accessible, reader-friendly tone will appeal to students and teachers alike. I would love to have an advance copy ASAP!" — Pamela Gemin, University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh
