Nature Writing and the Southwest
Experience influential writers of nature and environmental literature who have used the landscape and natural beauty of the Southwest as inspiration for their works, such as John Muir, Edward Abbey, Terry Tempest Williams, Barry Lopez, and Jon Krakauer. Then, through short writing prompts and journaling activities, participants will use Arizona’s high and low desert ecology to inspire their own creative and non-fiction writing.
