In this book, various writers from different backgrounds share
beautiful, creatively-written essays about how forms of physical
activity (e.g., hiking, backpacking, road running, building a fire,
practicing yoga, trail running, walking, boogie boarding, cycling,
snowshoeing, swimming, mountain biking, and doing triathlons) as
well as their interactions with the natural world have impacted
their specific writing practices, teaching approaches, and who they
are as people. In their lively pieces they explore the myriad ways
in which physical activities in particular environmental contexts
have directly and radically impacted their composing processes as
well as their lives as writers. Drawing from techniques in creative
nonfiction as well as rhetoric and writing studies, each author
draws the reader into her/his adventures and experiences in
illuminating ways, furthering the argument that physical activities
are not disconnected from our writing. Rather, they are
inextricably linked to our writing practices. And oftentimes we are
in fact composing in the very act of engaging in such physical
activities.
