An Anthology for Creative Writers: A Garden of Forking Paths
Beth Anstandig and Eric Killough, guided by fiction writer, essayist, and poet Robert Creeley's belief that all writing is essentially the act of articulation and that "form is content, content form," brought together as many successful examples of ideas and styles as possible.  They grouped these writings by genre for ease of use so that you can choose how you want to spend your reading time.  From science writer E. O. Wilson to psychiatrist Oliver Sacks, you will find in the garden that each author has labored to articulate at least one of the seemingly infinite possibilities that the spirit can bring into being.  Many of the authors in the text have successfully created works of written art using more than one genre.  Beth Anstandig and Eric Killough created this text in hope that these examples will inspire your students to experiement in multiple genres as well.
