The Poetics and Meanderings of Travel Writing

For many, summertime is when we have the chance to explore the great outdoors, learn a new place we’ve never been, or return home and reunite with family. This is a generative class that will focus on multiple genres of writing that navigate travel. While using inspiration from travel writing, storytelling conventions, snapshot poems of life on the road, and flash memoir that takes us back home, we’ll also write and discuss how our writing can engage with migration, journeys, pastorals, environment, and all the other intersections that emerge when we leave the comforts of home.
