HONOR 3210 - Travel Writing Workshop

Using the creative essay as a vehicle for exploration, writers will craft pieces that explore the powerful human relationship to place. Particularly, we'll indulge the magic of new or foreign or strange environments, some of which are known but not yet seen. A fall break river trip will take us to the Four Corners area of Utah for a four day rafting journey down the San Juan River. There, we'll explore (and later write about) the ancient river's stunning geography, wildlife, Anasazi ruins and panels where life-sized Shaman beckon to us from across the millennium.
