Travel Writing

Catalog description

A graduate workshop devoted to reading and writing narratives of place. Travel writing requires the author to research and reflect, exploring both the external--the place--and the internal--the author's experience. Students write multiple travel pieces and widely read essays of place by writers such as Tom Bissell, John Steinbeck, Pico Iyer, Stephanie Grist, and Eliza Griswold.
