Pages from Dan’s Sketchbook

Dan responded visually to the Transcendentalists. 

	Inspired by Emily Dickinson’s poem #185: “Faith” is a fine invention  When gentlemen can see—  But Microscropes are prudent In an Emergency.
	Inspired by Henry David Thoreau, Annie Dillard, and other nature writers who urge us to pay attention to the world around us.
	Inspired by journalers Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and Annie Dillard.

These courses were team-taught in the Department of English at Shepherd College (now Shepherd University), Shepherdstown, West Virginia, in Spring 2002 by Dr. Patricia Dwyer and Dr. Linda Tate.
