Readings & Talks
As a visiting author, I offer dynamic presentations, stimulating
discussions, and interactive, experiential activities for groups.
I work with audiences of any size, from small seminars or classes
to large public gatherings. I specialize in readings, keynotes,
public lectures, and campus visits.
Content is drawn from my scholarly and creative work and formatted
to meet your particular needs. Recent topics include: John Burroughs’ vision
of local nature, alien species, practicing wildness in the city,
natural religion, writing as a window into nature, and the counter-pastoral
impulse in American literature.
My base rates reflect time, distance, and format. Please call
or email so that we can discuss your needs and negotiate a final
rate compatible with your organization’s size, budget, and
mission.
