Writing with Power is a guide for the student writing an essay, the professional writer working on a story, or the manager writing a memo for a tight deadline. As Elbow explains, `Writing with power doesn't just mean getting power over readers. It means getting power over yourself and over the writing process.' For the second edition, Elbow has written a new introduction in which he discusses in detail the `mysterious' dimensions of `Writing with Power' -- voice, quality and bad writing, wrongness and felt sense, and sharing written work with others.
Peter Elbow is Professor of English at University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
