Warrick states that the Field Quarter was based on a “poetic outlook,” wherein students were encouraged to use thoughts and feelings as well as scientific knowledge, all of which was recorded in daily journals, in order to better understand the natural world. According to Warrick, the class was based on a blend of scientific and poetic approaches to studying nature. This campus publication also includes a poem written by Warrick himself about his experience in the Field Quarter.media/UA66/UA66_Bx70_Poets in the Field.jpgplain2016-06-04T14:11:21-07:00Danielle Crawford22ce6a14f83c9ff73c3545a665951a092258f08e
