4. EN 105 Thirsty Boots: Travel Writers
Department: English
Meeting Time: Monday and Wednesday 4:00-5:20pm
Professor: Sandra Welter
Credits: 4
Description: Writer Mary Oliver asks, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” For many, the answer would be immediate: travel! Students in this seminar will read a wide variety of writers, ancient and modern, women and men, Eastern and Western, highlighting the power of travel to spark self-discovery, nurture friendship, change world views, and draw connections across geographic and cultural landscapes. As William Least Heat-Moon wrote, “On the road, where change is continuous and visible, time is not; rather it is something the rider infers. Time is not the traveler’s fourth dimension – change is.” Through reading, discussion, and analytic writing, this course will trace the nature of this change, ultimately offering students the opportunity to write a travel essay of their own.
