| Special thanks must go to my editorial assistant, Stephanie Hart. She was able, with considerable diplomatic finesse and literary acumen, to pull together the work you now see before you. None of what is here, in this record, would have seen the light of day if not for her steady persistence and wise calm. I am indebted to her diligence, her sense of excellence. In these pages I hope you will find inspiration, thought, provocations, new angles, stimulations for more reflection, the basis for a continuing response. From these words and thoughts may come your words and thought. The mission of the Living Literacies conference was to breathe more life into the issues, range, concerns, and depth of literacy in all its forms. The purpose of this book is to record, on the page, what was said, over those days. These words form, then, yet another part of the vitality, the passion and intelligence, the concern and reflectiveness, that surround and move what we invoke and mean through that individual word, “literacy.”
