Desk and Examination Copies
We are thrilled that you are considering one of our titles for your classroom!
If you will be introducing a Waywiser book for your high school, college, or university course curriculum, you can contact waywiserbooks@gmail.com for desk and examination copies. In the email, please list the course name, anticipated class enrollment, the class start date, and your campus mailing address.
Professors and educators who are teaching courses are welcome to request desk copies. Requests from individuals will not be accepted.
Desk copies, which are complimentary, are for curriculum that has been decided, so that the teacher or professor has a copy of their own. We can provide one desk copy for every X copies ordered for a course adoption. Examination copies are for those considering a class, so that the work can be reviewed before the curriculum is decided. We can offer an examination copy for a flat fee of $5 and can be delivered within three to four weeks.
Ideas for LESSON PLANS
MIGHT COULD
by Anna Lena Phillips Bell
Bell contemplates meaningful companionship with one’s own body, with human family, and with the more-than-human world.
Lessons: nature writing; sparking a playful tone in poetry; imbuing objects with meaning.
JULIA HUNGRY
by Hannah Louise Poston
Julia Hungry is part love-affair and part fencing match and unabashedly feminist, exploring the unease of domesticity, first in the intimacy of home then expanding to a global scale.
Lessons: how to craft and maintain a cohesive theme throughout a poetry collection; exploring social constructs through poetry.
TO WILDNESS
by Julia Thacker
In recipes, spells, odes and elegies, To Wildness conjures what has been lost and what remains. In this collection, the dead reside alongside the living. Ancestors roost in trees, having forgotten language, their coats inside out. Others sulk in the eaves, their ears clogged with clover.
Lessons: playing with time, merging past and present; writing a Southern Gothic; atmospheric writing.
