How to Write a 'How to Write' Book: The Writer as Entrepreneur,
single work
criticism
'This paper considers the genre of the writing text. It canvasses a number of types, asks why authors direct their creative energies into this kind of project, and notes the most common strategies that they employ. It discusses the work of writers with an existing public profile and, therefore, with already acknowledged skills and knowledge in the area. In addition, it raises the question of the writing text as a 'theory-free zone', as a species of writing that acts as if it can escape theory because it has no other agenda than to inspire and teach.' (Authors' Introduction)
- 'Irrigorous Uncertainties': Writing, Politics and Pedagogy, single work criticism
-

Margins: The Poetic Text and Its Theoretical Gesturing,
single work
criticism
'...any attempt to define a marginal space for poetry implies some desire to leave poetic texts open, mobile, and not to lock them forever in neat structures produced by criticism - interpretations that would exhaust them.' Hecq discusses her own work and 'urges us to explore those axiomatic forces that shape literary traditions as well as the world outside the text.'
-
Fiction Writing: Theft or Weft?,
single work
criticism
'What can a writer of fiction steal: a voice, a landscape, some history, a story, a name? Is barefaced best, ficto-critical more honest, slight of hand more deft? Good relationships and elaborate permissions have failed to protect the best of writers. Preparing for hostilities can warp a narrative. ... This paper sets the rights and privacies of others, against the quirks of imagination, and the trust writers invest in themselves in order to create their work.' (Author's abstract)
The author discusses the background to her work in progress, a novel about Irish settlers linked to family history and a play by Edward Geoghegan, The Hibernian Father which itself is linked to an Irish play The Warden of Galway based on a 15th century story.
-
Connecting Two Research Strategies: A Hybrid Model,
single work
criticism
'This paper outlines and evaluates the creation of a hybrid postmodernist method, using a rhizomic research structure to combine various research strategies within an interactive space of creative writing praxis. The model presented is suited to a practice-led researcher working within the traditional boundaries of academia.' (Author's abstract)
