Environmental writing is an increasingly popular literary genre,
and a multifaceted genre at that. Recently dominated by works of
'new nature writing', environmental writing includes works of
poetry and fiction about the world around us. In the last two
decades, universities have begun to offer environmental writing
modules and courses with the intention of teaching students skills
in the field of writing inspired by the natural world. This book
asks how students are being guided into writing about environments.
Informed by independently conducted interviews with educators, and
a review of existing pedagogical guides, it explores recurring
instructions given to students for writing about the environment
and compares these pedagogical approaches to the current theory and
practice of ecocriticism by scholars such as Ursula Heise and
Timothy Morton. Proposing a set of original pedagogical exercises
influenced by ecocriticism, the book draws on a number of
self-reflexive, environmentally-conscious poets, including Juliana
Spahr, Jorie Graham and Les Murray, as creative and stimulating
models for teachers and students.
