Marking the tenth anniversary of the New Writing Viewpoints series,
this new book takes the concept of an edited collection to its
extreme, pushing the possibilities of scholarship and
collaboration. All authors in this book, including those who
contributed to Power and Identity in the Creative Writing
Classroom, which launched the series ten years ago, are proof that
creative writing matters, that it can be rewarding over the long
haul and that there exist many ways to do what we do as writers and
as teachers. This book captures a wide swathe of ideas on pedagogy,
on programs, on the profession and on careers.
Power and Identity In the Creative Writing Classroom remaps
theories and practices for teaching creative writing at university
and college level. This collection critiques well-established
approaches for teaching creative writing in all genres and builds a
comprehensive and adaptable pedagogy based on issues of authority,
power, and identity. A long-needed reflection, this book shapes
creative writing pedagogy for the 21st century.
With more than 40% of people eventually facing a cancer diagnosis,
Conversing with Cancer is a much-needed addition to understanding
and improving cancer care through strong communication among
providers, patients, and caregivers. Each person whose life is
affected by a cancer diagnosis-patient, healthcare provider,
caregiver-has information and needs information in order to make
the best decisions possible under the circumstances. After studying
and writing about the topics of communication and cancer for many
years separately, authors Lisa Sparks and Anna Leahy combine their
expertise in this new tour de force. Here, they apply principles
from the field of health communication to the cancer care
experience, drawing from a wide range of scholarship to offer a
comprehensive view of cancer care communication and extend existing
work into new insights. Engaging chapters cover all phases of the
journey through cancer, from prevention to recovery or end-of-life;
analyze the roles of the variety of cultural and social identities
and relationships; and explore written, verbal, non-verbal, and
electronic communication. In addition, this book draws from the
real-life stories of cancer patients themselves to enrich the
book's unique discussions and to better understand how theory can
be put into practice. Conversing with Cancer is ideal for use in
health communication classes, medical and nursing programs, and
formal caregiver training. In addition, it is useful for cancer
patient and caregiver supports groups and for individual providers,
patients, and caregivers.

"Anna Leahy's generous poetic imagination encompasses women from
Marie Curie to Esther Williams to Elizabeth Siddal, poet Felicia
Hemans to the mothers of the characters in The Wizard of Oz, a
lighthouse keeper and a plethora of saints. Leahy quotes Barthes:
"in order to look at [history], we must be excluded from it." It is
through the rare courage of distance, both aesthetic and
psychological, that the lovely, compelling poems of Aperture afford
us their unique glimpse of an all-too-often-ignored female universe
of inner and outer significance." - Annie Finch"Anna Leahy's
collection of poems, Aperture, is simultaneously focused in its
subject matter about women and capacious in scope, not an easy
feat. The book is an aperture or an opening into essential lives
that may have been forgotten. There are persona poems and
third-person lyric poems that investigate women-from the mothers in
The Wizard of Oz, to artists and poets, to saints, to
mathematicians, to astronomers, and much more-creating a chorus of
unique, yet unified female voices. Leahy writes poems with such
intelligence, concision, grace, and precision in terms of the line,
language, and the word. Aperture is an arresting and necessary
addition to the landscape of contemporary poetry." -Victoria Chang

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books
about the hidden lives of ordinary things. One in two men and one
in three women will develop invasive cancer. Tumors have the power
to redefine identities and change how people live with one another.
Tumor takes readers on an intellectual adventure around the
attitudes that shape how humans do scientific research, treat
cancer, and talk about disease, treatment, and death. With poetic
verve and acuity, Anna Leahy explores why and how tumors happen,
how we think and talk about them, and how we try to rid ourselves
of them. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay
series in The Atlantic.
