Dying for Attention
When Susan MacLeod accompanied her 90-year-old mother through a labyrinthine long-term care system, it was a nine-year journey navigating a government within a heart in a system without compassion. Her family, much like the system, erected walls rather than opening arms. She found herself involuntarily placed at the pivot point between her frail, elderly mother's need for love and companionship, the system's inability to deliver, and her brother's indifference. She had also spent three years as a government spokesperson enthusiastically defending the very system she now experienced as brutally cold. MacLeod's tone is defined by a gentle, self-effacing humour touched by exasperation for the absurdities and the newfound wisdom around expectations.Dying for Attention is the latest memoir in the graphic medicine field, shelved alongside My Begging Chart by Keiler Roberts and Tangles by Sarah Leavitt. MacLeod includes helpful tips for communicating with nursing homes, as well as background research, to provide a larger context for this under-discussed experience.
Raphael
The veil to Eden is ever so slightly lifted. Its vast waters and endless lands full of life are briefly seen by a young man who went where he wasn't supposed to go. The gates to Eden are guarded by terrifying creatures, and the penalty for trespassing is death. The young man is lost and trapped in the dreary pathway between worlds. Kaiyo, a two-and-a-half-year-old grizzly, and his human family are asked to find a hiker who entered the Montana wilderness and didn't come back. What started as a routine search changes when the McLeods realize they are being followed. The evil one wants the hiker, but Kaiyo and his family get to him first. Bitter enemies are made, captives defect, and battles are fought in the ancient war between unseen nations.
Defectors
Kaiyo is now five years old and a thousand pounds. Tracking down what he thinks to be a bear poacher, Kaiyo is shot and pursued. But Kaiyo escapes and makes his way home to get his brother's help to go back and take out his attacker. At the same time, Kaiyo's human father, Sam McLeod, is told by a strange and ominous man that Kaiyo will be destroyed and is warned not to interfere. But Kaiyo and the Mcleods will not be intimidated. They soon learn that they and their friends are on a death list because they stand in the way of a vile, determined archdemon who patrols the American West. So begins a war at the farm and in the Absaroka mountains as both sides gather human soldiers and animal allies to fight and die in the fierce battles that are a part of the ancient war between unseen nations.

Exploring Composition Studies
Kelly Ritter and Paul Kei Matsuda have created an essential introduction to the field of composition studies for graduate students and instructors new to the study of writing. The book offers a careful exploration of this diverse field, focusing specifically on scholarship of writing and composing. Within this territory, the authors draw the boundaries broadly, to include allied sites of research such as professional and technical writing, writing across the curriculum programs, writing centers, and writing program administration. Importantly, they represent composition as a dynamic, eclectic field, influenced by factors both within the academy and without. The editors and their sixteen seasoned contributors have created a comprehensive and thoughtful exploration of composition studies as it stands in the early twenty-first century. Given the rapid growth of this field and the evolution of it research and pedagogical agendas over even the last ten years, this multi-vocal introduction is long overdue.
From Form to Meaning
In the spring of 1968, the English faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) voted to remedialize the first semester of its required freshman composition course, English 101. The following year, it eliminated outright the second semester course, English 102. For the next quarter-century, UW had no real campus-wide writing requirement, putting it out of step with its peer institutions and preventing it from fully joining the "composition revolution" of the 1970s. In From Form to Meaning, David Fleming chronicles these events, situating them against the backdrop of late 1960s student radicalism and within the wider changes taking place in U.S. higher education at the time. Fleming be...
Writing at the State U
Writing at the State U presents a comprehensive, empirical examination of writing programs at 106 universities. Rather than using open survey calls and self-reporting, Emily Isaacs uses statistical analysis to show the extent to which established principles of writing instruction and administration have been implemented at state comprehensive universities, the ways in which writing at those institutions has differed from writing at other institutions over time, and how state institutions have responded to major scholarly debates concerning first-year composition and writing program administration. Isaacs’s findings are surprising: state university writing programs give lip service to impor...
