Dirty Nature Writing (O)

3 ch (3S) (W) · Undergraduate

Explore dirty nature writing, a “composter” genre that embraces messiness and rejects the nature/culture distinction, through hybrid critical/creative writing. Walk through the weeds and get hands dirty on course excursions. Readings include a wide sampling of works across genres of poetry (Pico; Whitehead), fiction (Simpson; Hurston), academic essays (Sloane; Haraway), and creative non - fiction (Blackwell; Kolbert). Choose to submit creative or critical writing for a final portfolio project. NOTE: Open to ENGL Honours Students.
