Michael Ray and Kendal Kirby

One difference that sticks out in these newer writings versus some of the older is that they are more academic in nature and lack passion. When communicating how to break boundaries and to stray from form, it is somewhat contradictory because they themselves are restricted to a box. This makes the arguments less persuasive and less able to move the reader.

However, they contained facts and information that is necessary if we wish to learn the skills necessary to create passion, unconstricted writing. In that sense, I believe that the academic leads into the creative. Ultimately, it would probably be most effective to combine the information of these later pieces into the style and freedom-pushing mantras of the earlier, more passionate work.
