Yes, one of the delights of teaching rhetoric/discourse/writing is that it
often involves uncovering what is always known or understood.  And yes, I
think Nick and I are coming at the issue of synthesizing CW & Comp with
similar intentions...but the truth is that there is too little emphasis on
creativity in fy comp...every year I spot students who, like myself, write
most centrally  with poems or stories, and who also like myself, find
themselves in an academic writing class...instead of whipping the
creativity out of writers with our fy comp programs, I think we need to
serve and use the creative resources our student writers so richly bring
to us.  Will
