….is for nature

I will be complete the majority of the in class activities (save for the calculated poetics) and studying on Human Nature, Natural Nature, Mental Nature, Nature of my self, Nature of the other and how to heal the wounds created by these worlds crashing together

Field Study proposal excerpt

I will be learning about the healing aspects of nature and how poetry used in concert with nature can be conducive to recovery .  I will be trying to answer this question: what is so healing about nature?   To show my work I will be posting excerpts from my journal that I will be writing in the style of Susan Howe’s The Midnight.  I will also be reading books by Thoreau, Carlos Castaneda, Daniel Quinn, Stephen Harrod Buhner to gain additional view points on Nature from vastly different backgrounds and perspectives, and to formulate a synthesis of my own thoughts on nature with those that I study.
