Offering guidance on writing poetry, nonfiction, and fiction alongside an extensive anthology of models, Environmental and Nature Writing is a complete introduction to the art and craft of writing about the environment in a wide range of styles. Now fully revised and updated throughout, this second edition features: a whole new chapter on place-based activities; a more international look at the genre with a completely revised anthology; and a greater focus on climate justice and sustainable transformation. With discussion questions, writing prompts and new extended experiential activities throughout, Environmental and Nature Writing covers such topics as:
· The history of writing about the environment from the ancient world to contemporary works
· Image, description and metaphor
· Environmental journalism, poetry, and fiction
· Researching, revising and publishing
· Styles of nature writing, from discovery to memoir to polemic
With the craft guide and anthology now wholly conversant to give an in-depth look at the various ways to write about the environment, the book also includes inspiring examples of work by Ross Gay, Maximiliane Donicht, Nick Neely, Camille T. Dungy, Amy Nezhukumatathil, John Hausdoerffer among many others!
