Sites and Senses of Writing in Nature

Randall Roorda

Abstract

Reviews Linda Brodkey’s prominent critique of the image of the solitary writer, and uses it as a means to examine the identity and behavior of the writer in nature. Uses various nature writers as exhibits, and speculates as to why Wendell Berry makes a distinction between “writer” and “creature.”
