The Fall 2006 issue of KB Journal /(vol. 3.1), an online journal elaborating on the work of Kenneth Burke, is now available at http://kbjournal.org. This issue features articles by Keith Gibson on the influence of Frazer's The Golden Bough on Burke's Attitudes Toward History; by Robert S. Littlefield, Timothy L. Sellnow, and Matthew I. Attansey on crisis communication responsive to the 2004 tsunami; and by Timothy Crusius on Burke and ethics. Additionally, we reprint the entire preface to Burke's new book Late Poems, 1968-1993, and three selections, as well as a review of the book by Miriam Clark. We remember the contributions of Bernard Brock and Leland Griffin in essays by James Chesebro and Mark Wright. Our Happenings section offers photos of a new sculpture at the old Burke homeplace by Michael Burke. Finally, we offer several new research reviews of recent publications in Burke studies and begin a new "book gallery," featuring information about new Burke-authored books and their availability.

Rhetoric and Composition Wikibook Wins Book of the Month Award for October!

Well, I was extremely proud to login to my Rhetoric and Composition Wikitext this afternoon and see that it's won the Book of the Month Award for October. As you all know, I started this wikibook as a project in my Computers and English class last year, and it's since been picked up by several volunteers and at least one other professor that I know for sure (Lanette) and another individual named Bruce Schauble, a dept. chair from Punahou School, Honolulu. I am definitely honored by this award and hope that the many students (and faculty members) who have contributed to this project share my happiness. It was a lot of hard work, but it was also fun, and now anyone with an internet connection can begin the journey towards effective composition.
