If essays, poetry, and fiction can transport us elsewhere simply through our reading-attention, how might the additional focus on location, immersion, and transience guide our voices? In Travel Writing, we will write about places near and far, real and imagined, and—always—transformative. Whether you'll embark on a trip this summer that you hope to write about, or you want to remember a journey from the past, we will explore how moments in new spaces leave an indelible mark on our creativity and humanity alike. This is a multi-genre class, meaning that we'll read across genres, and we'll write in the form(s) that we feel most drawn to.

"AM Ringwalt is a caring and attentive instructor, with a great eye for the type of poetry we want to write and we want to feel. It's a pleasure knowing her as a person and an even greater one studying with her as a teacher."
"AM Ringwalt really opened my eyes to the beauty of literature. The poem I wrote in her workshop really showed me how greatly I’m influenced by people and environment. I’m trying to learn how to write better and hearing AM quote some of my words really made me happy. Thanks for the encouraging words."
"I loved taking class with AM. She brought insight while at the same time acknowledged and valued the insights of classroom participants as equal to her own. The pacing of the class was great and it never dragged or rushes."
