(real time availability for all sections)

How do different writers represent landscape? How do writers and readers understand the role of the natural world in human culture? What are the relationships between urban and rural environments? These questions inform our work together, the core of which is class discussions, reading, and writing. Authors include Mark Twain, Norman Maclean, Willa Cather, Barry Lopez, and Annie Dillard.
