Poetry. Moving from illness, back into memory, and again into an ever-present present, the poems in HOW SMALL THE SKY REALLY DREAMS find new spaces to inhabit within the undulating, rhythmic, teeming natural world, a world of bodies, movement, and deep interconnections, a world where upheaval and terror are not separate, extraordinary experiences but deeply part of the warp and weft of existence. In short, this is a book that pushes limits of the human need to settle into received narratives and instead finds peace through the ongoing change and chaos of an endlessly shifting world. HOW SMALL THE SKY REALLY DREAMS is very much a book of this current moment of uncertainty and change, while at the same time part of an ongoing, eternal spiritual exploration into the nature of being and becoming.
Stressing the social dimensions of composing, this book inquires into the problems of interpreting and representing writers' talk in both academic and self directed writing groups, arguing for the value of such talk as a distinct mode of knowing that both complements and criticizes more traditional forms of inquiry. Emphasizing the role of writers' talk in shaping the text that they produce, it discusses the problem of representing and interpreting writers' talk in the context of composition studies, using feminist theoretical perspectives to illuminate the difficulty in representing the writer as a knowing subject, neither essentialist nor totally constructivist. Revisioning Writers' Talk also investigates the idea of the social in social-constructivist theories of composing, arguing that they maintain rather than demystify hierarchies of discourse and, in turn, the subjects and objects of composing. Cain's own story of composing is told in the context of her educational experiences as a writer. Finally, the book discusses the constructions of power and authority by both academic and self-directed writing groups.
