Course Description:
In part a course on nature writing, in part a course on how people experience place and landscape, this seminar will ask students to become conscious observers of the world outside themselves, to put down their phones and tablets and look up, down and around. We will discover how the words of first-class nature writers can make us more attuned to the importance of direct observation, not only of the external world, but of our own responses to it. Students will write and share essays based upon their own observations in parks, city streets and our own campus. |
