Princeton University Press Poetic and Legal Fiction in the Aristotelian
Book SynopsisWhen Philip Sidney defends poetry by defending the methods used by poets and lawyers alike, he relies on the traditional association between fiction and legal procedure--an association that begins with Aristotle. In this study Kathy Eden offers a new understanding of this tradition, from its origins in Aristotle's Poetics and De Anima, through itsTable of Contents*FrontMatter, pg. i*Contents, pg. vii*Acknowledgments, pg. ix*Introduction, pg. 1*One.

Internet Review of Books, 10/3/12"This book belongs in a writer's library." Midwest Book Review, October 2012"From ethical questions on turning nonfiction into creative writing to handling the fine line between fact and fiction, this covers common pitfalls and provides concrete approaches to success." Milwaukee Shepherd Express, 11/1912"Students and teachers of writing will find You Can't Make This Stuff Up instructive and inspiring...Those leery of yet another writer's manual will likely find they enjoy reading this engaging book for the way the author weaves together true stories well told." Curled Up with a Good Book, 11/16/12"Memoirists and journalists looking for a fresh approach or a change of pace would do well with You Can't Make This Stuff Up. Everyone else can enjoy a quick and enjoyable trot through an often maligned but compelling and growing literary genre." The Worlds of R.A. Hortz, 12/10/12 "An informative book that should be on the bookshelf of every writer." East Central Illinois News-Gazette, 4/7/13 The Writer, October 2012"Anyone seeking to write creative nonfiction will benefit from Gutkind's clear and instructive voice...The many examples of great creative nonfiction he offers (and carefully analyzes in order to explain their magic) are alone worth the price of the book." Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 9/30/12"Mr. Gutkind's latest work...is the kind of book about mastering the writing life we've come to expect from him: brash, clearly written, opinion-heavy, personal anecdote-driven, and chock full of practical exercises."

Library Journal, October 2012 Kirkus Reviews, 7/15/12 "Reminiscent of Stephen King's fiction handbook On Writing, the book will be useful to both new writers and seasoned chroniclers seeking a professional refresher course on the basics of content and continuity and on how to expand audience attention for typically esoteric material...An accessible, indispensable nonfiction guidebook from an authority who knows his subject from cover to cover." Booklist, August 2012"Gutkind, at once methodical and anecdotal in his instruction, offers clear and practical guidance on artistic concerns and matters technical, ethical, legal, and moral...With expertise equaled by enthusiasm, the founder and editor of the magazine Creative Nonfiction advocates for the genre in which writers 'can be poetic and journalistic simultaneously.' An enlightening call for the highest of literary standards." New York Journal of Books, 8/14/12"You will be inspired and encouraged to write your way toward the inherent power of your story-becoming a better writer in the process."

McGill-Queen's University Press What It Means to Write
Book SynopsisAn intimate and worldly adventure into the heart of language, learning, and getting lost.Trade Review"A genuine pleasure to read, What It Means to Write exquisitely employs memoir and nonfiction to ruminate upon the connections between creativity and metaphor. Others have attempted such an intertextual weaving of writing, fieldwork, and narrative, but rarely is it done so well." Cynthia Chambers, University of Lethbridge"McKerracher is both passionate and charmingly self-effacing as he describes his quest to glean the metaphors that inspire other writers' work. In describing his journey in What It Means to Write, [he] displays a voice that is both accomplished and deeply human, vulnerable, and yearning for connection and understanding." Quill & Quire"Using the writings of Benjamin, Lispector, and Bolaño as inspiration, the author makes his way through a number of interviews with an articulate group of Argentine writers, most whom will be unknown to North American readers. The resulting volume intersperses a sequence of orderly fragments that survey theories of creativity alongside forays with new friends and interviews with the authors. McKerracher devised a methodology and structure all his own for this unusual work of creative nonfiction. It makes delightful and stylish reading, as much for its illuminations as for its construction." Choice

University of Toronto Press A Celebration of Ben Jonson
Book SynopsisThe papers in this volume were given by some of the world’s foremost Jonsonian scholars at a conference at the University of Toronto which marked the 400th anniversary of his birth. Each contributor came from a different institution, and Canada, the United States, Great Britain, and New Zealand were represented. The balance of papers likewise reflects the range of Ben Jonson’s achievement and the combination of brio and control so characteristic of him.The papers arrange themselves in pairs: ‘The Incredibility of Jonsonian Comedy,’ as discussed by Professor Clifford Leech, is of a piece with distrust and defiance of the audience as discussed in the paper ‘Jonson and the Loathèd Stage’ by Professor Jonas Barish; Professor George Hibbard in ‘Ben Jonson and Human Nature’ and Professor D.I. McKenzie in ‘The Staple of News and the Late Plays’ offer critical assessment of plays, the one wide-ranging, the ot

Book SynopsisBrings together ten works that show the excitement and possibilities of the theater. Characterized by fragmenting structure, hypnotic rhythms, kaleidoscopic imagery, unpredictable characters, and lyrical language, these plays resemble puzzles from which the writers are teasing revelations.Trade Review"These are made-up worlds, but made up out of the junk of the real. Many of these plays betray the American delight in the tinkerer's habit and the outsider's pleasure in the beauty of random arrangement, the accidental, and the discarded. What makes them so powerful is their obsession with truth of perception and precision of expression." - Mac Wellman, from the Preface"

St. Martin's Griffin The Art of Slow Writing
Book SynopsisIn a series of conversational observations and meditations on the writing process, The Art of Slow Writing examines the benefits of writing slowly. DeSalvo advises her readers to explore their creative process on deeper levels by getting to know themselves and their stories more fully over a longer period of time. She writes in the same supportive manner that encourages her students, using the slow writing process to help them explore the complexities of craft. The Art of Slow Writing is the antidote to self-help books that preach the idea of fast-writing, finishing a novel a year, and quick revisions. DeSalvo makes a case that more mature writing often develops over a longer period of time and offers tips and techniques to train the creative process in this new experience.

Book SynopsisA timely, nuanced work that dissects the thorny debate around cultural appropriation and the literary imagination.Trade Review"Questions of cultural appropriation often crystallize most acutely in works of literature, from William Styron to Jeanine Cummins. Rekdal, a writing teacher, parses the issue to ask who is “allowed” to write what, and in what contexts." -- New & Noteworthy - The New York Times"Creative writing professor Paisley Rekdal tackles the definition of cultural appropriation and how it fits into our current political climate in her collection of essays, structured as a series of letters to an imagined student. Rekdal picks apart the hotly debated topic of who gets to tell what story as she examines the evolution of cultural appropriation as it pertains to literature. In her scrutinization of authorship, Rekdal points to bigger questions surrounding whiteness, identity and empathy." -- 14 New Books You Should Read in February - Time"[Rekdal] speaks without condescension to young, ethically conscious writers, and with an awareness that anti-racism is necessarily a constant, ever-shifting struggle; those who presume to have all the answers have got the question wrong." -- Bad Form Magazine

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Any Means Necessary
Book SynopsisThey don't care about the truth or changing anything. They just want to discredit us. Bury us under a load of insinuation and then shut us up by paying us off. I can't bear to bleed out my pain and it not mean anything. When Mel meets Dave at a protest, she believes she has met her kindred spirit. Dave soon becomes central to her life and her activist friends. But is he who he appears to be?An emotionally compelling drama that explores love, betrayal, secrets and lies and exposes the brutality of a police policy that used any means necessary to undermine political protest.Based on a true story, Any Means Necessary centres on the events surrounding a group of environmental activists and the 2011 court case that charged them with trespass at nearby Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station.This real-life event set in Nottingham uncovered a national scandal that has led to a full police apology and an admission that their officers' behaviour was an abuse of the women's human rightsTrade ReviewA poignant and tender story . . . as funny as it was moving * Sunday Times on "Mathematics of the Heart" *[Achieves] a balance between brittle humour and broody thoughtfulness * The Times on "Mathematics of the Heart" *Brims with vitality and acuity, resulting in a pleasing and pertinent play about the nature of rivalry and relationships * Stage on "Mathematics of the Heart" *The case of police spies forming sexual relationships with political activists has been so well documented . . . that it is fair to ask what a dramatist can add. In the case of Kefi Chadwick, who has written this fascinating play, she brings a vivid picture of the mutual destructiveness of fraudulent affairs, but also an awareness that collective action can lead to public change. [...] The virtue of the play is that it links private and public worlds. Through the story of Mel and Dave, it explores the difficulty of faking a long-term relationship without a genuine sense of entanglement. [...] what is heartening about Chadwick's play is that it reminds you of past wrongs while showing that women have the power to take present action. * Guardian *bold and insightful . . . Chadwick's play remains powerful, political stuff . . . a true-life horror story in which individuals count for nothing and everyone is expendable. * Stage *Kefi Chadwick's text is excellent . . . Anyone hoping for a one-sided evening of left-wing agitprop would have trudged home disappointed. It is altogether more complex and interesting than that. And it manages to end on an . . . optimistic note. * Nottingham Post *Any Means Necessary is a fascinating play that looks at events where the audience are likely to know the ending and the corrupt motivations of the police. Yet we still sit as onlookers breathlessly observing the lies unfolding and they are told with such conviction that our sympathies find it difficult to know who to side with. * Big Issue *Chadwick's play seeks to demonstrate the scale of the betrayal of ordinary women by a corrupt police institution. . . . The dynamics of the protesters ring true, the warmth of their friendships compensating for some occasional artificial speechifying . . . offers an important, emotive call for action by demonstrating the scale of the betrayal perpetuated on activists and exposing the belligerent callousness of the police towards those affected. It painstakingly captures the insidiousness of a lie that sullies everything it touches and destroys the ability to trust. . . . [Any Means Necessary] establishes a platform which, one hopes, will enable many more victims to speak about their experiences and seek justice, and, crucially, prevent this happening again. * Exeunt *

Haunting. * New York Times on "Four" *Surprising nuance and sudden surges of emotion. The play offers several outstanding monologues, some tender, some searing, and one unforgettable * New Yorker on "On the Mountain" *Better than any play I’ve seen at finding the natural existential anxiety in the frustration and powerlessness of being a movie actor. Offers ample evidence of this dramatist’s singular gift for presenting human murkiness with precisely shaded clarity. Impeccably observed. * New York Times on "Picked" *Shinn opens a window into lives that we rarely see on stage * Broadway World *A playwright who writes with unshowy depth and unforced menace on a challenging subject * New York Magazine *Shinn territory is a land of bruised souls sharing awkward silences, their subtext and inchoate impulses placed carefully between them.

Book SynopsisA doorway to a new future is ready to open. We are the hinge of that moment. We will let the door swing wide.On a beautiful spring evening when both moons are full two teenagers vow eternal love. It is a moment that will have cataclysmic consequences.

That we're all paper thin, that it's all been painted over, and each one of us is gonna sit down one day and not be able to stand up, like we've disappeared to ourselves.Harrogate tells the story of a father struggling to confront his obsessions head-on without destroying his family. It is a play about how we perform versions of ourselves depending on what company we keep, and how we project onto others versions of the people we want to see, rather than accepting who stands in front of us.The play is a triptych about obsession, repression and lust. It received its world premiere on the 11 September 2015 as part of the HighTide Theatre Festival and this edition has been published for its subsequent production in October 2016.Trade ReviewHarrogate plays games with its audience, setting up and then confounding our expectations ...

The final third leaves you shuffling uncomfortably, never having expected the ending that came along. This is a serious and profound take on celebrity culture, the nature of heroes and how our media treats famous young women. * Everything Theatre on The Sweethearts *The Sweethearts is an effortlessly immersive piece. Page has an exceptional gift for dialogue, and each character possesses a unique and intriguing voice – no simple task given that the eight characters share just two (all-consuming) professions... Indeed, as the audience sit just metres from the stage, you can taste the tension with every beat. * britishtheatre.com on The Sweethearts *
