| Favorite books | Walking on Water: Reading Writing and Revolution by Derrick Jensen. What happens to creativity and individuality as we pass through the educational system? Derrick Jensen brings us into his classroom at the university and the maximum security prison where he teaches writing. He meditates on how schools are central to perpetuating the great illusion of our culture, that happiness lies outside of ourselves and that learning to please and submit to those in power makes us all into life-long clock-watchers. As a writing teacher Jensen guides his students out of the confines of traditional education to find their own voices, freedom, and creativity. |
