Creole Composition is a collection featuring essays by scholars and teacher-researchers working with students in/from the Anglophone Caribbean. Arising from a need to define what writing instruction in the Caribbean means, Creole Composition expands the existing body of research literature about the teaching of writing at the postsecondary level in the Caribbean region. To this end, it speaks to critical disciplinary conversations of rhetoric and composition and academic literacies while addressing specific issues with teaching academic writing to Anglophone Caribbean students. It features chapters addressing language, approaches to teaching, assessing writing, administration, and research in postsecondary education as well as professionalization of writing instructors in the region. Some chapters reflect traditional Caribbean attitudes to postsecondary writing instruction; other chapters seek to reform these traditional practices. Some chapters' interventions emerge from discussions in writing studies while other chapters reflect their authors' primary training in other fields, such as applied linguistics, education, and literary studies. Additionally, the chapters use a variety of styles and methods, ranging from highly personal reflective essays to theoretical pieces and empirical studies following IMRaD format.Creole Composition, the first of its kind in the region, provides much-needed knowledge to the community of teacher-researchers in the Anglophone Caribbean and elsewhere in the fields of rhetoric and composition, writing studies, and academic literacies. In suggesting frameworks around which to build and further institutionalize and professionalize writing studies in the region, the collection advances the broader field of writing studies beyond national boundaries.Contributors include Tyrone Ali, Annife Campbell, Tresecka Campbell-Dawes, Valerie Combie, Jacob Dyer Spiegel, Brianne Jaquette, Carmeneta Jones, Clover Jones McKenzie, Beverley Josephs, Christine E. Kozikowski, Vivette Milson-Whyte, Kendra L. Mitchell, Raymond Oenbring, Heather M. Robinson, Daidrah Smith, and Michelle Stewart-McKoy.

The essays in Sudden Eden explore the ways in which the memory of Paradise, or experience of the paradisiacal, has shaped canons of experimental writing from the late Middle Ages through to the present day. Keyed to figures as various as Dante and Beckett, Thomas Traherne and Barbara Guest, Sudden Eden proposes a new constellation of Metaphysical, Symbolist, and Postmodern lights-a single, continuous Heaven.

Out of the 1920s Surrealist art studios emerged the exquisite corpse, a collaboratively drawn body made whole through a series of disjointed parts whose relevance today is the subject of Exquisite Corpse: Studio Art-Based Writing in the Academy. This collection draws from the processes and pedagogies of artists and designers to reconcile disparate discourses in rhetoric and composition pertaining to 3Ms (multimodal, multimedia, multigenre), multiliteracies, translingualism, and electracy. With contributions from a diverse range of scholars, artists, and designers, the chapters in this collection expand the conversation to a broader notion of writing and composing in the 21st century that builds upon traditional notions of composing but also embraces newer and nontraditional forms. In the section devoted to process, readers will find connections between art, design, and academic writing that may encourage them to incorporate nontraditional strategies and styles into their own writing. In the section devoted to pedagogy, readers will encounter art-based writing projects and activities that highlight the importance of interdisciplinary work as students continue to compose in ways that are more than solely alphabetic. Both sections provide insight into experimental process, inquiry-based work, play, and risk-taking. They also reveal what failure and success mean today in the composition classroom. Throughout the collection, readers will encounter a variety of stylized critical essays, poetic vignettes, lavish contemporary visual art, 20th-century Surrealist exquisite corpse drawings, and candid snapshots from the artists' own studios.Contributors include John Dunnigan, Brian Gaines, Felix Burgos, Meghan Nolan, Derek Owens, Jason Palmeri, Christopher Rico, Jody Shipka, S. Andrew Stowe, Vittoria S. Rubino, Tara Roeder, Gregory L. Ulmer, and K. A. Wisniewski."Inspired by the Surrealist parlor game that fosters play, randomness, and collaboration in the creative process, Exquisite Corpse: Studio Art-Based Writing in the Academy breathes fresh air into traditional pedagogy in the disciplines of writing, art- making, and writing about art. Its essays advocate playfulness, fancy, collaboration, collage, improvisation, and intersecting genres to upend traditional practices of academic art-making and criticism with the goals of richer creativity, inclusivity, and social justice. Reading it has made me want to try all sorts of new things in my writing classes." -James Lough, Savannah College of Art and Design."As I made my way through this wonderfully diverse collection of essays exploring the elements and implications of art-based processes and art-based pedagogy, I (as reader, writer, and teacher) could feel my juices stir. Oh, the possibles. While this collection focuses on processes and pedagogy, the project as a whole subverts the traditional and skillfully sidesteps method to reveal ways of doing/teaching composition that inspire. This collection, as the editors suggest, "values play, collaboration, community, imagination and artistic innovation," resonating the Deleuzian 'difference.' Each chapter reminds us that what it means to teach writing is to help students make the connection (between writing and life)-that writing like 'difference' comes first and above all, in the words of Deleuze, from "the internal explosive force that life carries with it." Exquisite Corpse: Studio Art-Based Writing in the Academy is indeed exquisite. -Jacqueline Preston, Utah Valley University

"If only words were salt-soluble, savory, vital, electric," Eric Pankey writes in "Variations on Hadrian's Animula," one of many virtuosic works in Vestiges: Notes, Responses, and Essays 1988 - 2018. In this diverse collection of lyrical prose, Pankey assays his personal-poetic history with passion, brilliance, and grace. He considers the works of many great poets-Dickinson, Stevens, Donne, Hopkins, Merwin, Justice, Levis, and Lorca, to name just a few-invoking them as teachers and guides. As much about language as the unutterable, sight as the unseen, Vestiges is a gorgeous, vital collection. -Danielle Cadena Deulen, author of The RiotsVestiges: Notes, Responses, and Essays 1988 - 2018 maps the mind of one of our best lyrical poets and thinkers. In these concise and nuanced works of prose, Eric Pankey meditates on such subjects as spiritual faith, the poetic image, memory, language, duende, and silence in poetry. Pankey is a quester, a searcher for truth, so it's no surprise that in Vestiges he eschews nailed-down arguments and grand arrivals, prioritizing the question and the journey towards "the unsayable, the untouchable . . . the unknowable." He reminds us that mystery and uncertainty are not weaknesses, but essential aspects of a life lived richly in both art and faith. -Brian Barker, author of Vanishing ActsEric Pankey muses, "What is the divine? How is it made manifest? Where does it reside?" Revisiting the lyric impulse in a post-religious generation, Vestiges ponders the Romantic lyric subject in light of postmodern skepticism with allusions to Biblical contexts, illuminating the phenomenon of wonder in a material yet epistemologically unstable world: "In the lyric, language is both the ritual and the sacrifice at the moment's altar." Guided by an inner compass of memory and desire, psalms and lamentations, restoration and revival, we unearth in ourselves "not a spark, but a splinter of God in each of us, inflamed, working its way to the surface." This book, a revitalizing act of faith and inspiration, is a marvelous gift to us. -Karen An-hwei Lee, author of Phyla of JoyERIC PANKEY is also the author of ten collections of poetry and Professor of English and the Heritage Chair in Writing at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.
