Occasionally she teaches special topics ranging from traditional book-binding to writing for new media. Peterson publishes mostly about American and British women writers in Paris between the World Wars, but frequently returns to the topic of her dissertation, E. E. Cummings. She is currently working on a book-length literary biography of Solita Solano as well as editing a collection of her journalism. Peterson has held the H. D. Fellowship in American Literature at the Beinecke Library at Yale University. Historical Note This Ball State University senior seminar course surveys the tradition of manifesto-writing in European and American literature, emphasizing the bold, non-traditional work of the early Modernist writers. Students also receive instruction in artist’s book binding techniques. Each student’s term project will be writing and binding, in an edition of four, his or her personal manifesto. Scope and Contents This collection contains book projects written, designed, and created by students in Rai Peterson's Manifesto Book Arts senior seminar (ENG 444) at Ball State University between 2010 and 2015.
