Writing Environments

"Writing Environments address the intersections between writing and nature through interviews with some of America's leading environmental writers. Those interviewed include Rick Bass, Cheryll Glotfelty, Annette Kolodny, Max Oelschlaeger, Simon J. Ortiz, David Quammen, Janisse Ray. Scott Russell Sanders, Edward O. Wilson, and Ann Zwinger. From the standpoints of activits, scientists, naturalists, teachers, and high visible writers, the interviewees consider how different environments have influenced them, how their writing affects environments, and ways readers experience environments. The interviews are followed by critical responses from writing scholars. This diverse range of voices speaks lucidly and captivatingly about topics such as place, writing, teaching, politics, race, and culture, and how these overlap in many complex ways.Dobrin, Sidney I. is the author of 'Writing Environments', published 2005 under ISBN 9780791463314 and ISBN 0791463311.
