The combined experience of authors throughout the ages offers a
wealth of valuable information about the practice of creative
writing. However, such lore can also be problematic for students
and practitioners as it can be inherently additive, making it
difficult to abandon processes that do not work. This adherence to
lore also tends to be a US-centric endeavor. In order to take a
nuanced approach to the uses and limitations of lore, The Place and
the Writer offers a global perspective on creative writing pedagogy
that has yet to be fully explored. Featuring a diverse array of
cultural viewpoints from Brazil to Hong Kong, Finland to South
Africa, this book explores the ongoing international debate about
the best approaches for teaching and practicing creative writing.
Marshall Moore and Sam Meekings challenge areas of perceived wisdom
that persist in the field of creative writing, including aesthetics
and politics in institutionalized creative writing; the process of
workshopping; tuition and talent; anxiety in the classroom;
unifying theory and lore; and teaching creative writing in
languages other than English.
