ENVS 045C. FYS: Imagining Natural History

(Cross-listed as ENGL 009L)
“Natural history” is full of complicated stories of human beings in a larger-than-human world. This course invites students to build a creative community with one another and with the Crum Woods as they explore some of the various ways human beings have thought about and responded to “Nature.” Some class periods and much homework will take place in the Crum. Readings include contemporary poetry and natural history; student writing ranges from academic prose through creative nonfiction to poetry and digital storytelling. (Poets include Oliver, Mullen, Hillman, Heaney, Rich and others; essayists include Dillard, Pollan, Quammen, Sheldrake, Young.)
