In proposing a new form of writing he calls "craft criticism,Mayers, himself a compositionist and creative writer, explores the connections between creative writing and composition studies programs, which currently exist as separate fields within the larger and more amorphous field of English studies. If creative writing and composition studies are brought together in productive dialogue, they can, in his view, succeed in inverting the common hierarchy in English departments that privileges interpretation of literature over the teaching of writing.

Written in a down-to-earth style with plenty of examples, this book will be accessible and interesting for readers at all levels.--Choice From the Back Cover "If it is true--and I believe it is--that a new genre of scholarly discourse about English departments is about to appear, (Re)Writing Craft outlines the terms of that conversation. . . . [T]he publication of this book signals a turn in English studies that reflects the recent emergence of writing programs as disciplines in many English departments across the country. . . . So accurate is his assessment that he could be talking about my department, or yours."--Patrick Bizzaro, East Carolina University "Mayers does an excellent job of not only remapping the territory in English studies, taking fuller measure of the role of textual production, but also presenting a useful discursive framework of craft criticism from which to begin a different disciplinary conversation."--Mary Ann Cain, Indiana University--Purdue University Fort Wayne.

What is less common is finding a book that proposes solutions in detail. Mayers suggests that to overcome the isolationist nature of most creative writing departments particularly in relationship to literary studies, creative writing should work more closely with composition, accept the importance of theory, and make further use of "craft criticism.Mayers goes into extensive detail on all three, as well as problematizing the status quo of creative writing in the academy, such as the notion that neither Creative Writing nor Composition requires any training to teach. Especially for criticism, this is a relatively easy book to follow and provides some important questions and problems creative writing needs to address. Comment | Was this review helpful to you?
