In The Ways of the Word, Garrett Stewart steps aside from theory to
focus on the sheer pleasure of attentive reading and the excitement
of recognizing the play of syllables and words upon which the best
literary writing is founded. Emerging out of teaching creative
writing and a broader effort to convene writers and critics,
Stewart's "episodes in verbal attention" track the means to meaning
through the byways of literary wording. Through close engagement
with literary passages and poetic instances whose imaginative
demands are their own reward, Stewart gathers exhibits from dozens
of authors: from Dickinson, Dickens, and DeLillo to Whitman, Woolf,
and Colson Whitehead. In the process, idiom, tense, etymology, and
other elements of expressive language and its phonetic wordplay are
estranged and heard anew. The Ways of the Word fluidly and
intuitively reveals a verbal alchemy that is as riveting as it is
elusive and mysterious. -- Cornell University Press
