Description:

10S: 10A This course combines reading, writing and field work to explore the breadth and richness of the Nature Writing genre. It will be a literature class that will expose you to a variety of nature writing forms; a field course, in which you will take to the field a number of times during the term to put yourself in the practical position of a nature writer; and a writing workshop in which you will write your own literary nature-related essays and critique each other's pieces in class. Enrollment is limited, and students interested in the course must apply. Applications will include a writing sample-a 3-page personal narrative based on a nature-related experience; the forms should be requested from the instructor. Applications are due on the last day of classes of winter term (the term before the class is offered), and students who are accepted will be informed on or before the first day of class.
