This volume presents a theory of writing as representational composition. It envisions texts not as words and clauses forming sentences and high-level linguistic units but as words forming imagery-rich narrative worlds and invitations for readers to interact with them.

This work questions the rhetoric/technical knowledge split to examine what is at stake in rhetoric's traditional classification as a "practical" art. It explores the distinction between practical and design arts, and enumerates the skills criteria cited in literature to count as an art of design.
