Drawing on the reading “Address” as a general model, begin a draft where you write to some environmental “other,” a member of the environment or some aspect of our current environmental moment. Use the direct form of address, speaking to an audience you otherwise wouldn’t think was possible to bring into conversation. As to how you will address your subject, maybe it will be in the form of a letter (many different types: a love letter or a fundraising letter, e.g.?) or a memo, as the examples from the reading offer, or some other form (an invitation, an order, a request?) that you identify where writing to the audience directly is crucial to the fabric of the text. Do so, as the introduction to Anthropocene Unseen suggests, as a means of “generat[ing] new ways of apprehending this unprecedented moment” (21) “in a manner that aims to provoke a different imagination” (20) of our environmental situation. While this prompt may seem silly, adopting an unexpected compositional approach to environmental subjects might allow for really important insights. That’s my hope, anyway, so see what you can do to throw yourself into the task wholeheartedly.
