Connecting classroom experiences to community-based projects, it prepares creative writing students for teaching in schools, homeless centers, youth clubs and care homes. It is tailored towards US-based “service-learning” projects, where students in higher education take part in community evolvement as part of their education. However, it can also be applied more broadly to anyone wanting to work creatively in the community and its guidance is universal. It is suitable both for experienced creative writing teachers and those planning their first project. In its wide scope, it explores a range of teaching contexts, including youth groups, care homes and prisons, and provides advice for working in each. Its author, Terry Ann Thaxton, aimed to produce a guidebook, anthology and resource book and that is exactly what she has achieved. It is written with enthusiasm and underpinned by experience. There is an emphasis on creative writing pedagogy and so practice is combined with theory. The value of this book lies in the resources that it provides. It focuses specifically on the practical aspects of teaching and offers a range of resources, including session plans to give you new ideas. It is also full of fascinating case studies of students working with community groups in a wide range of contexts. Writing produced by workshop participants is also included to show you what is possible. This book asks pertinent and timely questions about the role of creative writing in the community and explores the radical potential of writing. In one chapter, it addresses the role of creative writing as social activism and in another explores its potential in giving socially excluded participants a voice. It also considers the experience of creative writing teachers in the community and encourages them to reflect on their own development. This is an inspiring book that provides valuable resources for teaching creative writing in the community. Thaxton passionately understands the transformative potential of writing and this book will give you the resources to develop your own community-based project. Amy Spencer.

Importing the World.Most all of my memories were lost somewhere in a box of self-protection. My intention then was to piece together the fragments of memory. In preparation for the memoir, I taped large pieces of graph paper around my garage walls and created a timeline of my childhood: the day of my birth, the day my father died, the day my mother died. Later I found a photo album that my mother had made of our annual camping trips, and I took out photographs and taped them on the timeline. Each photograph widened the memory of each moment. The moments were there, but the meanings were lost in the dull pacing of the linear prose narrative: “This happened, and then this, and then this, and then this.” I put my memoir in a box in the garage. I took a four-week workshop, “Magical Realism in Poetry,” with Brenda Mann Hammock. Our weekly prompts were to write poems using the images as inspiration. I struggled to find subjects for the prompts because I’d always found my subjects by freewriting until I filled two single-spaced pages. The images started to remind me of my father, and then my mother, and then my siblings. To produce the poems for Brenda’s class, I used two computer screens: the surreal images on one screen and my freewriting on the other screen. Essays about childhood. I pulled the box with my printed out memoir in order to return to moments I’d remembered, and I let them haunt my writing as I focused on the surreal and magical images. Connected moments that made sense because, for me, childhood is all fragmented memory. Is anyone’s memory organized and chronological. Mine is fragmented. Memories blend together. Perhaps because poems are more compressed, I’ve learned, in writing them, to allow the intermingling of moments, places, people, and things. I was part of the six. I was a girl. I was not supposed to speak much or express an opinion. When I started writing in my late twenties, I felt like a person. Not invisible. Not only part of the six, but also an individual. My writing has always been about me finding the words to tell the story of the person I was and am, and of course, some of who I am will forever be entwined with my siblings. In fact, she seldom said anything when my father was home. Her silent rage was so very loud, and in turn the silent anger and sadness of my siblings and I was and is still so very loud. The collective threats and individual wishes are attempts for me to find meaning in the silence that echoed in my childhood and that crackles through memory. While I was a girl, and therefore told I was not as important as my brothers, I was expected by either my father, my mother, my brothers, or all of them to be able to fix things on my own, hit a baseball just as hard, fight back, and throw rocks at passing cars if my brothers did. At times, I am a girl clinging to cracked orbs of hope; other times, I fill my hands with mud and raise them toward heaven.” Elsewhere, “June is always a bud, a cup of summer, a swaying roost, a place we cannot hold onto, but I am fascinated with the flies that cover dead dogs.” “Where” seems to compel “How My Body Was Made.” How would you describe the intersection between the physicality of your childhood home and memory. Do you often return to the same landscape in your writing? The flora, fauna, air, and people are so intermingled in who I am that I cannot separate them from each other or from me. Florida is getting more accurately described through great writers like Lauren Groff and Karen Russell. When people visit Florida, they are surprised, first, by how much sky there is and, second, by how much green there is: the dense pine flatwoods, the saw palmettos, the hardwood forests, the swamps. Florida is also disappearing—the landscape changes with development, which is probably the primary reason there’s shape-shifting in my writing. The constant change in landscape affects our lives, and the way we perceive ourselves in the world. I may be driving to work or the grocery store, and along the drive come upon 5-20 acres of recently bulldozed woods. Yesterday, there was wildlife and trees and shrubs, and today, there is nothing. In a few months, there will be houses, and a gate at the entrance to a subdivision that will be named after what was destroyed to create it, usually something like “Oak Preserve” or “Pine Woods” or “Gopher Trails.” My family line might go further back, but the census records are difficult to follow, especially because farmers and laborers were often suspicious of the census takers. Whether I’m fifth, six, or seventh generation Floridian, the landscape is me and I am the landscape. I don’t think it is something that I return to; the landscape, for me, is never absent. What can readers look forward to? One of the other essays, “The T-8 Egg Ranch,” just came out in Pithead Chapel, and I have several others that I’m working on. Because these are linked, I’m trying to find that balance between linking and keeping each one self-contained. I feel energized by this style of writing, as if it’s the way my story wants to be told.

It will be officially released in January 2014. This year it will take place in Seattle starting Feb. 26, 2014. Here is a listing of our panels. A more complete list including meetings and receptions will be posted in December. WITS Membership Meeting Room 2A, Washington State Convention Center, Level 2 Writers in the Schools (WITS) Alliance invites current and prospective members to attend a general meeting led by Robin Reagler, Executive Director of WITS-Houston. Being Juvenile is a Good Thing: A Reading of Old Writers Inspired by Young Writers Room 304, Western New England MFA Annex, Level 3 (Rebecca Hoogs, Terry Blackhawk, Garth Stein, Nick Flynn, Dorothea Lasky) In a recent New Yorker profile of James Salter, the writer dismissed his teenage writing as “terrible”—a common refrain for most writers of renown—yet such false modesty does damage to the public perception of what young people can do. This panel will present writers who have worked with Writers in the Schools programs to read their work and the work of the amazing young people who have inspired them. The reading will also feature a special guest appearance by a young writer from Seattle. From Page to Stage, Performance Poetry and the WITS Process of Teaching and Learning Willow Room, Sheraton Seattle, 2nd Floor (Mary Rechner, Desmond Spann, Aricka Foreman, Monica Prince, Janet Hurley) Competitive Poetry Slams inspire diverse youth populations to produce dynamic poetry on both the page and the stage. Panelists explore the complexities unique to teaching students to write poetry meant for performance, the socio-political history of the form, the nuts and bolts of organizing youth slams, and the expanding world of opportunities for young performance poets. On this panel, five writers will share their career paths to meaningful and satisfying full-time positions in the city of their choosing. The options include working with Writers in the Schools (WITS) programs, becoming a grant writer, teaching in a high school, and becoming a technical writer and a literary agent. Storytelling for a Cause Cedar Room, Sheraton Seattle, 2nd Floor (Kate Brennan, Karen Lewis, Lisa Murphy-Lamb, Philip Shaw, Lisa Howe Verhovek) Make a difference through the art of storytelling. Led by members of the Writers in the Schools Alliance, this panel discusses how to craft meaningful stories that further the work of a charitable cause. With experts from the nonprofit sector, the philanthropic community, and the marketing industry, hear what makes an effective story and how to best share that story with targeted constituents. This panel will also touch on topics such as cause marketing and guerrilla marketing. Creativity and the Future of K-12 Education Room 609, Washington State Convention Center, Level 6 (Jack McBride, Cecily Sailer, Harold Terezon, Tina Cane, Sheila Black) According to creativity advocate Ken Robinson, schools are “killing creativity.” As schools struggle to reinvent themselves and become more relevant, what is the role of the arts in the classroom. How can the teaching artist enhance education in the age of the data-driven. Four Writers in the Schools teaching artists and administrators discuss the precarious position of creative writing and the arts in the K-12 classroom. Many writers struggle with balancing the demands of being literary and being a leader. These panelists hail from five different literary organizations, and they discuss how their careers and their poetry have fed (and sometimes bled into) one another. Congrats, Terry! They received the award for City Wide Poets, an after school writing and performance program. For more information, click here. Five organizations will share how they train MFA students, graduates of MFA programs, and professional writers to enter the K-12 classroom. As MFA graduates and professional writers look to share their love of writing and earn a living, Writers in the Schools work is an important opportunity. The panel will discuss different internships and training seminars for writers to transform their teaching methods to meet the needs of younger writers. The panel will talk about developing relationships with public schools, finding funding sources, incorporating service learning components, preparing college students as teachers, planning typical program calendars and events, and the many rewards of community outreach for faculty and students. For writing educators, technology choices—blogs, podcasts, distance learning, forums, YouTube, and Yahoo and Google groups—can sometimes feel overwhelming. This panel presents an overview of technological options as well as tips on where to start. Panelists will then present case studies from three WITSA programs that have used technology to better serve their students, their instructors, and their broader communities. Picture a young writer in a space where an older author is available to talk conversationally about the student’s work, to discuss the work seriously, critically, with both generosity and honesty. Whether based in a school or on a college campus, writing centers provide a place for students who want to write or to know more about writing to be welcomed and understood.
