This work here is so needed! I applaud the author on his careful and thoughtful historical approach, as he productively builds upon older knowledge-making in the discipline. This is very refreshing, indeed. -Helen Foster, Associate Professor, Emerita, Rhetoric and Writing Studies, University of Texas El Paso An important scholarly addition to the growing field of composition studies and rhetoric, particularly as it relates to reflection as a form of rhetorical invention. Professor Irvin's Reflection Between the Drafts explores both the theoretical and pedagogical applications between invention, the influence of kairos on reflection, and the crucial between-the-drafts reflection. The book also provides step-by-step reflection exercises to help students reflect during the drafting stages of the writing process. Reflection Between the Drafts should be required reading for composition teachers teaching introductory writing courses. -Rafael Castillo, Director of Publications and Special Projects, Catch the Next, Inc. (New Haven, CT); Professor of English, Palo Alto College If you teach, assess, or research writing, L. Lennie Irvin's Reflection Between the Drafts is a must read. The book highlights best practices on reflection in process. Irvin's lucid theories of reflection distill extensive composition experience and scholarship detailing a dynamic approach.
