CWRT 210 Ecopoetics will explore the writer's relationship to nature and the environment. We will seek to understand the role of the writer and the moral agency required to build a just and sustainable community. Coupled with an intellectual enquiry into environmental literature and criticism, writers will examine more closely non-fiction, fiction, and poetic forms that express an intimate attention to landscape and nature.
Prerequisites: CWRT 100 and CWRT 101 both with a minimum grade of 60%
