In this careful examination of the nature of writing, the author demonstrates that the experience of writing, apart from the text that is produced through writing, can be deeply transformative for both individuals and communities. This text presents a dramatic new way to understand writing as an onotlogical act at a time of unprecedented social, education, and environmental change. This book offers hope in the form of a pedagogy of writing as an ethical practice of being in the world. It describes a way to harness the power of writing so that writing instruction can become part of a broader effort to imagine and create a more just and sustainable future
