Writers Without Borders: Writing and Teaching Writing in Troubled Times, Parlor Press, 2008.
The book: This book presents research on the nature of essays and on the political, philosophical, ethical and pragmatic considerations that influence how we read, write and teach them in times troubled by terrorism, transgressive students, and uses and abuses of the Internet. Each of the 11 essays addresses in its own way the essay itself as one way to live and learn with others. And they reinforce the author's reputation for presenting innovative and sophisticated research with a writer's art and a teacher's heart.
The author: Lynn Z. Bloom is Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor and Aetna Chair of Writing at the University of Connecticut. She has authored or edited numerous books, including "Composition Studies as a Creative Art," "The Seven Deadly Virtues," "The Arlington Reader," "The Essay Connection" and two volumes of "Composition Studies in the 21st Century."
