| ESS 206 - Nature Writing |
|
Examines key texts in the tradition of writing about the natural world. Focusing on creative non-fiction by twentieth/twenty-first century U.S. writers, as well as some fiction and poetry, specific questions are explored such as: What is "nature"? What is the role of writing in the human relationship with the environment? How do race, gender, and class impact perspectives on nature? Students will have the opportunity to use close reading strategies along with an examination of historical/biographical context to better understand these texts' contributions to nature writing and then write their own creative non-fiction.
