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.
