Migrating Craft: The Art and Practice of Contemporary U.S. Writers with Immigrant Roots brings together twenty essays by contemporary U.S. writers on their art and craft. Representing a wide range of cultures, literary traditions, and writing genres, these authors reflect on their creative processes, craft techniques, and relationships to language. They also explore how literary heritage and aesthetic principles from their countries of origin intersect with, or resist, the dominant Western frameworks of craft taught and celebrated in the United States. Rather than treating immigrant experience as peripheral, these essays place it at the center of artistic innovation and practices, showing how multiple heritages enrich and expand contemporary U.S. writing. This anthology offers a window into diverse creative practices and a reimagining of craft itself--craft as something continually shaped by movement, history, and the porous boundaries between cultures and languages.
