This comprehensive writing skills workbook is updated with and informed by the new sixth edition of The St. Martin’s Handbook by Andrea A. Lunsford. The extensive instruction provided for each chapter makes this workbook an ideal stand-alone text, as well as a supplement to The St. Martin’s Handbook.

Oregon native Lex Runciman's 5th collection, in which we find the whole spectrum of ordinary tragedy and excruciatingly particularized joy.

We all make many ethical choices, small and large, every day. Should we give money to that homeless person? Should we shade the truth to protect someone else's feelings? Should we endanger ourselves by chasing that purse-snatcher? A first-year college composition course devoted to critical thinking and writing presents an ideal opportunity for students to reflect on what goes into making such decisions, and to refine their own understanding of what constitutes ethical action. The first reader to tap into this opportunity, Open Questions presents a wide variety of perspectives on profound ethical issues, along with a unique method of approaching those issues based on careful listening, analytic thinking, and persuasive writing.

Starting from Anywhere is based upon the generous belief that poetry can begin with anything: a painting, a line from another poem, or even how perfectly ordinary things can balk account. The urgency underlying these quiet poems reveals how the eye and imagination can, must, or perhaps simply will, remake the world. Born and raised in Portland, Lex Runciman has lived most of his life in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Starting from Anywhere is his fourth collection of poetry, following Luck (1981), The Admirations (1989) which won the Oregon Book Award, and Out of Town (2004).

Over 130 exercise sets offer opportunities for practice and review.
