Literature for Life Paperback - 2012
by X. Kennedy; Dana Gioia; Nina Revoyr
From the rear cover
"...this is a text that uses thematics thoughtfully and deeply rather than sparsely and sporadically. Literature for Life, as both its title and content suggests, attempts to forge a close relationship between students' reading and life experiences." --Erin Radcliffe, Central New Mexico College "These chapters (reading chapters) are flat-out superb, at least for me: They include and "codify" every element I have used to break down our literature structurally, which the students respond to well. Your poetry unit is exceptionally good, what with its clearly defined and well-illustrated bits on poetics: meter, imagery, etc. This whole chapter is an orderly, clear, comprehensive, and very teachable masterpiece." --Vicki J. Sapp, Tarrant County College "Overall, the textbook is thoughtful and useful. I believe that the authors really put thought into selecting texts that will work for many, many types of students, and this is important. I can definitely see myself selecting this text for use. I would have to do very little to supplement this text in my classes. I will propose its acceptance to our textbook committee once it is in print." --Anne C. Spurlock, Mississippi State University "I do think this will resonate with students based on the approach of the text. Students often don't see the relevance of literature, but the themes are such that students see the connection between the writings and their own lives." --Africa Fine, Palm Beach State College "Literature for Life is a student-friendly, college-composition, literary text written in a direct, fluid manner that cannot help but engage student and instructor alike in the processes of critical reading, writing, and thinking. Don't take my word for it; just order a copy today and see what I mean." --Rebecca McLauchlin Whitten, Mississippi State University
