From the days of Emerson and Thoreau to the present, nature writing has fascinated readers. The experience of being in forests, mountains, caves, swamps, or anywhere in nature evokes strong emotions, energizes the imagination, and requires expression. Award-winning writers - Barbara Hurd, Robert Richardson, and Marjorie Sandor - join moderator Tom Robotham on a journey into the craft and substance of nature writing.
