FREE VERSE EDITIONS, edited by JON THOMPSON | JENNIFER ATKINSON''S THE THINKING EYE, her fifth collection, looks at the syntax of our living, evolving world, paying close attention to the actual quartz and gnats, the goats and iced-over, onrushing rivers. The poems also look at the looking itself-how places and lives become "landscapes" and the ways the lenses of language, art, ecology, myth, and memory-enlarge and focus our seeing. If it''s true, as Gaston Bachelard says, that whether a poet looks through a telescope or a microscope, [she] sees the same thing, then what Atkinson sees is an earth filled with violence and beauty, human malice and ten thousand separate moments of joy. Clearly in love with the earth and the (English) language-all those inter-dependent lives and forms-Atkinson pays attention to both with a Bishoppy eye, a Hopkinsy ear, and an ecopoet''s conscience. Behind the book''s sharp images and lush music creaks Chernobyl''s rusty Ferris wheel. | Praise for Canticle of the Night Path: "With Canticle of the Night Path Jennifer Atkinson sets in motion a deeply compelling sequence of praise songs. Whether their origins are remote in time or close to hand, the objects of her praise become intricately connected as each is illuminated in turn--by electric light, by candle-light, by lightning. She models a patient attention that gives way to sudden insights and the reader is transported by the clarity and music of her forms."-SUSAN STEWART | Praise for Drift Ice: "I don''t know of another poet who can, in Thoreau''s words, so beautifully ''impress the winds and streams into [her] service."-ALLISON FUNK | "As ice drifts in ocean currents, so these poems, keen and visionary, move on inner currents and reveal astonishing worlds within our world."-ARTHUR SZE | Praise for The Drowned City: "With each rereading, The Drowned City becomes even more exciting, engaging, astonishing-for its richness of music, its agility of mind, its exactingness of vision, its unswerving ability to locate ''the silence between/ illumination and when its echo catches up'' ("What Happened Next")."-CARL PHILLIPS | JENNIFER ATKINSON is the author of five collections of poetry-The Dogwood Tree, The Drowned City, Drift Ice, Canticle of the Night Path (New Measure Poetry Prize), and The Thinking Eye. Individual poems have appeared in various journals including Field, Image, Witness, New American Writing, and The Missouri Review. She teaches in the English Department and the MFA and BFA programs at George Mason University in Virginia.

JAEPL Volume 20 ¿ Winter 2014-2015 | THE JOURNAL OF THE ASSEMBLY FOR EXPANDED PERSPECTIVES ON LEARNING, JAEPL, provides a forum to encourage research, theory, and classroom practices involving expanded concepts of language. It contributes to a sense of community in which scholars and educators from pre-school through the university exchange points of view and cutting-edge approaches to teaching and learning. JAEPL is especially interested in helping those teachers who experiment with new strategies for learning to share their practices and confirm their validity through publication in professional journals. | CONTENTS OF VOLUME 20: Libby Falk Jones, "Paisesong: One (Worn) Path through AEPL" | Alice Brand, "Twenty Years: Reflections and Questions" | Tom Gage, "Hitchhiking the Labyrinth" | Susan Schiller, "The Dance of Spirit in AEPL" | Kristy Fleckenstein, "Stepping Beyond, In, and With JAEPL: Twenty Years of Hope" | Paul Heilker "Coming to Nonviolence" | Beth Daniell, "To the Contrary" | John Creger, "The Personal Creed Project: Portal to Deepened Learning" | Jessica Jones, "'Put Your Ear Close to the Whispering Branch...': Deep Listening in the English Classroom" | OUT OF THE BOX: Laurence Musgrove & Myra Musgrove, "Drawing Is Learning" | BOOK REVIEWS: Judy Halden-Sullivan, "Embracing the 'Beginner's Mind'" | Elizabeth French reviews "Richardson, Scott. eleMENtary School-(Hyper) Masculinity in a Feminized Context | Brad Lucas reviews Ryden, Wendy and Ian Marshall.

Rhetoric is a natural choice for UX work."-Jakob Nielsen, Nielsen Norman Group, author of Designing Web Usability: The Practice of Simplicity"I really like the definition of experience architecture. As Potts and Salvo write in their introduction, 'experience architecture requires that we understand ecosystems of activity, rather than simply considering single-task scenarios.'"-Donald Norman, Nielsen Norman Group, author of The Design of Everyday ThingsRhetoric and Experience Architecture represents the evolving ideas of an emerging area of study. Experience architecture focuses on the research and practice of creating technologies, products, policies, and services that serve the needs of various participants. Experience architecture addresses issues of usability, interaction design, service design, user experience, information architecture, and content management for websites, mobile apps, software applications, and technology services.Experience architecture also represents an emerging context for the practice of a variety of research and practical skills. These proficiencies are incorporated into commercial design and development work as user experience design, which has become an effective workplace moniker for this assemblage of practices. The study of language, and especially of persuasion, grounds experience architecture. Rhetoric sustains the technology-rich discussion of language and design that characterizes the contemporary exploration of the emerging practice of user experience design, and experience architecture enriches discussion of relevant research and methods. Experience architecture is a professional practice merging the newest technologies with ancient knowledge, hence the need for a volume in which rhetoric and experience architecture are in dialogue. Rhetoric and Experience Architecture includes chapters from twenty-five authors in three countries and eleven US states, representing eighteen universities, research institutions, and design firms.
