How We Work is a collection of essays by writers from across the disciplines on the ways they
produce work. Each writer offers a description of the processes and quirks of putting thoughts
into form. Some of the essays are humorous confessing to the ways writers confront the terror
of the blank page. Others are helpful offering hints and analyses. All give personal
reflection on how creating is both horizontal and vertical involving the writer with places
sensual experiences and other bodies as well as with other parts of the self. Deliberately
interdisciplinary and multicultural this collection contains the work of curriculum theorists
fiction writers poets musicians and professors of mathematics English philosophy and
women's studies. We hope to encourage readers to become more aware of their own creative
potential by reading these essays.
