Abstract
Environmental writing today, between the abstractions of ecology it engages and its many experiential precipitates and barring some ecofeminist instances, can be as disembodied as Emerson’s transparent eyeball. When not entirely scopic, the environmental body prefers phenomenological surfaces, an exchange at the skin that leaves the viscera untouched. The principal mode of environmental writing has been descriptive, where traces of the writing body are nearly always effaced, and where reading happens politely, in silence.
