Rosenfeld J: Writing Through the Pause

Writing Through the Pause

Mining Midlife for Powerful Writing

24th Poet Laureate of the United States Ada Limón inspires us to see poetry as much more than just words—as a powerful force for healing, a call to action, and a vibrant celebration of humanity’s many voices. Ada Limón—celebrated poet laureate and 2023 MacArthur fellow—takes us on an inspiring journey into a world where poetry is both a soothing balm for the soul and a spark for transformation. With her blend of accessible yet profound prose, Limón delivers a powerful message: poetry has the ability to heal, connect, and remind us of our shared humanity. Limón’s mission to make poetry approachable shines brightly in this slim but impactful book. Recognized as a 2024 Time magazine Woman of the Year for her commitment to bringing poetry into everyday lives, Limón passionately argues that poetry is essential to understanding ourselves—our tenderness, courage, imperfections, and our deep, unshakable worthiness of love. Drawing from her own experiences as the 24th US poet laureate, Limón shares how poetry connects us not only to each other but to the natural world. This theme is at the heart of her project You Are Here, which celebrates the beauty of our environment and our place in it. Her prose, like her poetry, feels like an open invitation—welcoming readers of all backgrounds to explore the richness of human experience through verse. Fans of Robin Wall Kimmerer, Matthew Zapruder, or Jesmyn Ward will find a kindred spirit in Against Breaking—which offers a refuge, a reminder of the resilience and beauty found within us and all around us. As Limón writes with heartfelt clarity, “If you need to remember what makes us human, tender, brave, flawed, and worthy of love, you need poetry.”

On the Power of Poetry

Against Breaking

Offering teachers and students alike a foundational understanding of the versatile medium of comics, this book guides readers through the history and principles of reading and making comics, using the creative writing discipline as its lens. Sitting at the intersection between comics studies and comics creation, Comics and Creativity explores what makes comics work, how they are read and asks readers to reflect on the narratological comparisons between storytelling in comics and storytelling in the mediums such as prose or film. Covering the fundamentals of time, form, character and voice in graphic narratives, as well as approaching the key genres of autobiography, speculative fiction, adaptation and non-fiction, Comics and Creativity uses ideas from both a theoretical/ critical and practical/ creative approaches. With each chapter supported by practical exercises and lesson suggestions, it features step-by-step close readings of a broad range of contemporary works from comics artists including Kym Tabulo, James Kochalka, Tommi Parrish, Chris Ware, Leonie Brialey, Meg O'Shea, Lee Lai, Adrian Tomine and Taiyo Matsumoto, Mandy Ord, Marjane Satrapi, Dominique Goblet, Safdar Ahmed, Sam Wallman and Eleri Harris. Designed to assist with classroom teaching and individual learning, this book demonstrates how comics can unlock and transform approaches to storytelling and creative teaching. Privileging narrative rhythm, timing, page layout and panel design over experience and skill with drawing, Comics and Creativity extends the writer and creative's repertoire of ways to express themselves multi-modally.

Travelers' Tales/Solas House

Behind the scenes of a globe-spanning career in freelance journalism With a Foreword by Tim Cahill A Crooked Line celebrates an age when print journalism changed lives and made the world a better place. That era may be winding down, but this perceptive book makes the case for why incisive writing will always matter. Over the course of his 40-year career, Michael Shapiro has reported from more than 20 countries, writing for National Geographic, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times and many other top publications. But the itinerant writer’s life, while rewarding, has never been easy.
 
Shapiro worked as an investigative reporter and staff writer for San Francisco Bay Area newspapers before letting go of a regular paycheck and setting out to share stories of people and places worldwide. The exhilarations of the open road, “afoot and light-hearted” as Whitman wrote, were tempered by the challenges of freelancing, from making a living to working with heavy-handed editors.
 
His stories put people first: For a feature about Puerto Rico’s recovery after Hurricane Maria, he visited farmers who spoke of shifting from exporting produce to growing food for local people. His profile of a Yosemite photographer, who climbed Half Dome after being diagnosed with cancer, brought the man’s big-hearted humanity to the fore.
 
Shapiro is known as a travel writer, but his work goes far beyond global dispatches. In this book he shares stories of: <ul><li>saving Sunset magazine’s priceless archive of Western life (including photos made by Ansel Adams) after Time Inc. told staffers to toss everything into a dumpster</li><li>an investigation into the U.S. government’s attempt to conceal the circumstances of pro football star and soldier Pat Tillman’s death during the war in Afghanistan</li><li>writing a tribute about environmental hero Jane Goodall just hours after she died</li><li>how the Grateful Dead’s ecstatic songs celebrate the wonders of nature.</li></ul>Several chapters cover themes familiar to journalists and others who work for themselves. Among them: deadlines, headlines, rejection and compensation. A glossary defines insider journalism terms such as hed, dek, slug, lede, nut graf, and kill fee. Renowned for his books of conversations with writers and artists, A Sense of Place and The Creative Spark, Shapiro has interviewed David Sedaris, Amy Tan, Smokey Robinson, Joan Rivers, Frances Mayes and Peter Matthiessen. In this volume, he tells the story of how he convinced a reluctant Paul Theroux to agree to an interview and shares an in-depth dialogue with poet and philosopher David Whyte. A Crooked Line highlights Shapiro’s best journalism and includes behind-the-scenes anecdotes about how he pitched stories and got assignments worldwide. Postscripts detail what happened afterward; some include letters from people he wrote about, sharing what his coverage meant to them. After his story about Welsh bard Dylan Thomas was published in The Washington Post, Shapiro received a handwritten letter from a former customs official who said he had admitted Thomas into the United States on the fateful 1953 trip from which the poet would never return. Months after the Yosemite photographer succumbed to cancer, his widow wrote a heartfelt email to Shapiro telling him that his writing made her feel she was “spending time with Kirk again.” Due to the dramatic changes in the journalistic landscape, a career like Shapiro’s couldn’t begin today. Yet the skills he honed as a journalist—empathetic listening, concise and evocative writing, and a keen sense of what matters—remain as relevant as ever. The tales and insights in A Crooked Line provide a timely affirmation of journalism’s enduring power to illuminate the human experience. This penetrating book reminds us that whatever life path we choose, it’s vital to make it our own.

The Perils and Rewards of a Life in Freelance Journalism

A Crooked Line

A lively examination of what creative writing is, how it is practiced and how it can be better understood, Graeme Harper explores the very nature of the art form in this book, outlining its key components, discussing its methods and breaking down the implications of why writers write, and why it matters that they do. Locating a starting point for knowledge within the practice of writing itself, and as something anyone can undertake, Harper lays out how creative writing relates to personal, cultural, artistic and psychological enrichment, posits how individual choice is intrinsic, and shows how a definition of creative writing can assist action. Uniquely combining practice-perspective with a critical one, the creative writing process is disentangled from its end product here and presented as constantly forming, wherein craft, or the 'how to', should not be applied prescriptively but as a node and used to generate communicative flows. In showing how to understand creative writing, and in suggesting much of what we have been told about it has hidden its true nature, Harper makes a radical case for a universal creative writing; he declares our practice of writing creatively as evidence of an informed humanity, equally devoted to the arts and sciences, and all informed by our individual abilities to empathize, communicate and to create the world.

Twenty Problems of the Fiction Writer

This engaging and highly practical workbook introduces students and writers to the creative and critical possibilities of the essay form, inviting them to see it as creative, imaginative and practice-led in content and approach. With most viewing the essay in academia as formulaic, impersonal, strictly linear and arguing a series of points evidenced according to certain rubrics, Kirsty Gunn and Gail Low make a case for the form to be more verb than noun, more activity and process than final arrival. Through practical examples, tips, readings, how-to plans for groups, collaborative exercises, publishing initiatives, network resources and ideas to refresh and energise study, this hybrid workbook-manifesto makes critical work creative, and creative work more probing and enlarging. With exciting implications for subjects from creative writing to areas across the humanities, the book incorporates forays into such disciplines as archival studies and history, visual and fine art, philosophy, presentation and rhetorical study and architecture. Bold and innovative, The Writing Studio is an ethos, an orientation over an instructional manual, using words, language, rhetoric and images to experiment playfully and productively with the essay form. Taking risks and offering surprises, this book chips away at outdated notions of the essay and presses forward with a mode of writing for the modern world.

Short-Form Creative Writing

Ti è capitato di scrivere un inizio che non decolla o di arrivare alla fine del tuo romanzo con la sensazione che il cerchio non si chiuda davvero? Ogni scrittore conosce la difficoltà di superare la prima soglia del testo. Spesso un esordio spento allontana il lettore prima ancora che la storia inizi. Allo stesso modo, una conclusione priva di forza rende vano lo sforzo di centinaia di pagine, lasciando il finale slegato dal resto del racconto. Incipit &amp; Finali è il manuale tecnico pensato per chi scrive e desidera padroneggiare la struttura profonda della propria opera. Il volume smonta i meccanismi che legano la prima riga all'ultima parola, offrendo una metodologia pratica per governare l'arco narrativo. Attraverso questo testo, potrai acquisire gli strumenti necessari per: <ul><li>Padroneggiare l'esordio: Trasforma l'apertura in una promessa vincolante, stabilendo un patto di fiducia solido con chi legge sin dalla prima frase.</li><li>Governare la soglia narrativa: Calibra le aspettative e definisci la prospettiva della voce narrante per dare forma compiuta al tuo mondo narrativo.</li><li>Forzare la logica del finale: Sostituisci le chiusure deboli con epiloghi necessari, capaci di dare senso a tutto il percorso precedente ed evitare risoluzioni artificiose.</li><li>Garantire la coerenza strutturale: Assicura che ogni elemento del racconto risponda alla tensione aperta dall'incipit, evitando cadute di ritmo o cedimenti tonali.</li></ul>Sebbene il volume sia concepito come una guida operativa per l'autore, anche il lettore appassionato troverà in queste pagine una chiave inedita per comprendere cosa accade dietro le quinte di un grande romanzo. Passa dall'istinto alla tecnica e impara a scrivere storie che iniziano con impatto e finiscono lasciando il segno.
