Be Wilder: Writing from Wilderness
Summer 2016 quarter (Session II)
Taught by
Many cultures have traditions of teachers and students spending time in wilderness. We’ll let wilderness work in us, inspire us and help immerse us in writing. Carrying our own food and shelter will focus us, and open new outlooks on sustainability. We’ll live Leave-No-Trace ethics as we paddle to Squaxin Island and hike in the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, including Rainier and St. Helens. We’ll read, seminar, write and critique, with ongoing faculty feedback.
This all-level program could be an orientation for incoming students, and a chance for anyone to engage deeply with writing, and/or produce a finished publishable manuscript.
