The summer of 1997 I traveled west to Missoula, Montana to take part in a panel on "Southern Nature Writing" at a biennial conference of an emerging academic group called ASLE (The Association for the Study of Literature and Environment). When I received the invitation the group was new to me, but a little research showed ASLE had met once, two summers before, in Fort Collins, Colorado.
