Ecotone: Reimagining Place
Ecotone is a literary journal of place that seeks to publish creative work about the environment and the natural world while avoiding the hushed tones and clichés of much of so-called nature writing.  In the natural world an ecotone is a landscape where two separate ecosytems overlap, a place of danger and opportunity for animals.  As we try to reimagine a new literature of place, our journal embraces literary ecotones, writing that breaks across genres and seeks out edges. These edges between science and literature, the urban and rural, the personal and biological are places that are alive and electric, as well as new and dangerous. 

Isotope: A Journal of Literary Nature and Science Writing
Isotope seeks to embrace the tradition of nature writing and move beyond it (even challenge it) by including a wide range of work that engages such fields as astronomy, artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, sexuality, urban ecosystems, restoration ecology, physics and math. We are a journal of literary nature and science writing.

Watershed: Journal of Environment and Culture
Watershed is Brown's journal of the environment and culture. Our experience is not of a verdant dale, or a fecund jungle, but of public parks and parking lots. We find a wilderness in the rivers that run through our cities, in the trees that line our streets. Our nature is not the unmitigated nature of museums or magazines. Ours is a nature known in the midst of people. Given this experience, Watershed collects critical, artistic and literary productions that respond to the question: "What is the natural?"

Close Reading of a Literary Passage
To do a close reading, you choose a specific passage and analyze it in fine detail, as if with a magnifying glass. You then comment on points of style and on your reactions as a reader. Close reading is important because it is the building block for larger analysis. Your thoughts evolve not from someone else's truth about the reading, but from your own observations. The more closely you can observe, the more original and exact your ideas will be.
