Michelle Bonczek Evory's text offers practical advice and strategies for developing a writing process that is centered on play and supported by an understanding of America's rich literary traditions. With consideration to the psychology of invention, Evory provides students with exercises aimed to make writing in its early stages a form of play that gives way to more enriching insights through revision and embracing the writing of poetry as both a love of language.
