Synopsis
Connecting writing to everyday life, THE CALL TO WRITE, Brief Fifth Edition, continues its long tradition of breaking new ground in composition. Organized by genres, including letters, memoirs, public documents, profiles, reports, commentaries, proposals, and reviews, this innovative rhetoric gives students the practice they need to write both in college and in the public sphere. An emphasis on public writing promotes civic involvement, while relevant, provocative readings help students understand the concept of being "called to write" in response to a personal, community, or societal need.

Review
"The choices of genres are appealing, and the support surrounding readings and assignments in the genres have depth and work well in the classroom."
"Call to Write is the clearest genre-based rhetoric on the market. Trimbur speaks our language--the language of rhetoric and composition."
"I describe Trimbur as a genre-focused, real-world-rhetoric text with a progressive theoretical understanding of the relation between social context and rhetorical effectiveness."
