Description
If you want to write about landscapes, animals or environmental issues, or include descriptions of nature in your poetry, fiction, or nonfiction, this course is for you. Together, we’ll read and discuss a variety of approaches to nature writing- scientific, environmental, philosophical, spiritual, romantic and travel-oriented. We’ll consider characteristics of effective description. Finally, we’ll do two personalized choose-your-genre writing assignments, with optional sharing.
