This book presents an introductory history of nature writing—covering subcategories ranging from pastoral and adventure writing to postcolonial and climate change narratives—and serves as a comprehensive guide to the elements of its craft in essays, stories, and poems. Both veterans and newcomers to environmental and nature writing will find inspiration in the exercises and anthology sections, which include work by Camille T. Dungy, Juan Felipe Herrera, Benjamin Percy, and many others.
