Rezensionen

Intellectually alert and deeply committed to its subject, Graeme Harper offers a cogent and wide-ranging vision of what creative writing can become in the 21st Century. His arguments deserve to be widely discussed and debated. They challenge many of our current assumptions about the purpose and value of creative writing in higher education and elsewhere.'

--Jon Cook, University of East Anglia

"Deeply personal yet grounded in philosophy, Graeme Harper's monograph on the future for creative writing brightly situates the author at the intersections of culture, therapy, spirituality, and creativity. This is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of the artist and alphabetic text, or the ever-increasingly popularity of creative writing as a discipline. Ultimately, this is an inspiring, uplifting account of the ways creative writing fosters humanity and human evolution."

--Joseph Moxley, University of South Florida

"Not so long ago, the idea of a creative writer as a creature operating within the academy was viewed as strange at best, anathema at worst. Now, creative writing as an academic discipline has spread across the Anglophone world and is making inroads beyond. As founder and long-time editor of New Writing, Graeme Harper has been uniquely situated to observe - some might say to preside over - this remarkable disciplinary explosion. The genius of his new book, The Future of Creative Writing, is that it addresses not only our past thinking and methodologies about and within the discipline of creative writing, or even just those that are current, but also those that might be coming. There is much here that is being articulated and made visible for the first time. As the title suggests, Graeme Harper is optimistic about The Future of Creative Writing - and his book makes a powerful argument for this optimistic view."

--Katherine Coles, University of Utah
