Dear Inkshedders:

The second issue of the new Inkshed Newsletter is just out, at http://www.inkshed.ca/blog/newsletter/inkshed-newsletter-2/. The five articles offer lots to think about and enjoy, with topics ranging from the worth of poetry-writing to the nature and value of writing studies in Canada.

Andrea Williams has written the first published review of a new collection on the place of writing in the knowledge society; Doug Brent follows with thoughts (he says curmudgeonly, I say stimulating) about the state of writing instruction in Canada; Leora Freedman tells a thought-provoking story about using a strange piece of contemporary art to elicit real discussion in the classroom; Carl Leggo gives us a poem about poetry and a reflection on what it’s worth; and Nancy Johnston tells us about a poet who represents a new way of teaching writing and creativity.

Please use the Reply box that follows each article to continue the discussion -- or write new articles yourself for the next issue of our publication. Thanks to the authors, the review panel, and the site designer Tania Smith for their contributions to this issue.

Best,
Margaret Procter,
Moderator, Inkshed Newsletter.
