The ABCs of Enlightenment

In these rich and incisive essays, Robert Day reveals how his "learning" as a student defined his "teaching" at Washington College, the University of Kansas, the Iowa Writers Workshop and other colleges and universities. He learned because his best teachers included him into their intellectual lives, and it seemed natural for him to do the same for his students. The first part of this collection contains tributes to his teachers, and the second part tells how he followed their examples in his own teaching.
