Nature Authors: Home

Introduction

Nature writers are constantly probing, traumatizing, thrilling, and soothing their own minds—and by extension those of their readers—in quest not only of consciousness itself, but of an understanding of consciousness. (Slovic).

Over the week, we will explore several nature writers and their influence on the human consciousness. On Thursday we will spend a full day at Guadalupe Mountains National Park exploring nature as creative writers.
