WRT 280 - Reading & Writing in the Wilderness

This course, combining the study of literature of the wilderness with an intensive, journal-based writing practice, will be carried out during the summer session, and it will include four Saturday hikes into local wilderness areas. We will read writers such as Emerson, Thoreau, Leopold Dillard, Halpern, Lord, Elder, and Carson. A continued emphasis is placed on the improvement of writing skills. Note: students are responsible for providing their own equipment and food for the hikes.
