As someone who teaches creative writing but has found the lack of theory behind the teaching of creative writing a bit discouraging, I was happy to find the New Writing Viewpoints series, which is described as "The overall aim of this series is to publish books which will ultimately inform teaching and research, but whose primary focus is on the analysis of creative writing practice and theory." This particular book, Creative Writing Studies: Practice, Research, and Pedagogy, offers a selection of short essays that explore research and pratical implications for the classroom. I enjoyed them all, and have to think a bit more about how I am incorporate some of the authors' ideas for my own classroom use. I'm also looking forward to reading other books in this series.
