DeVinck: How I write essays
“I read my work aloud, and if I stumble, that is where the potholes of the sentence need to be repaired.”
"I use the techniques of poetry in my essays. Poetry makes more room for varied sentence patterns. A poem is concise with concrete nouns, with verbs that gallop, and with sentences that flow like a hymn."
