Wendy Bishop. Against the Odds in Composition and Rhetoric.

Bishop, Wendy. "Against the Odds in Composition and Rhetoric." CCC. 53.2 (2001): 322-335.

Abstract:

This chair's address to the 52nd Annual Convention of the Conference on College Composition and Communication, March 2001, draws on the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins to explore and celebrate a life in composition. Acknowledging institutional fatigue, I outline possibilities for individual renewal, particularly through the process of mentoring new members. Ending with a convention poem, I invite readers to compose their own.
