First sentence: This collection looks broadly at the relationships between writing and places, or textuality and places: for instance, how the production of texts and discourse is influenced by the places and environments in which and for which they are produced; how texts and discourse construct places and environments and in turn how these texts influence, affect, and persuade readers; how different cultural and sociopolitical factors affect the production and interpretation of texts that focus on places and environments; and how, in short, writers in various disciplines and professions writers in various disciplines and professions write when they write about places and environments.
Description: "Writing Environments addresses the intersections between writing and nature through interviews with some of America's leading environmental writers. The interviews are followed by critical responses from writing scholars.

This diverse range of voices speaks lucidly and captivatingly about topics such as place, writing, teaching, politics, race, and culture, and how these overlap in many complex ways."--Jacket.
