I started drawing with colored pencils, Your images like the one with the angel projecting light from her hand (see facing page)—do you have a story in your mind and then create an image to match the story? Well, it depends. Sometimes the image comes first and sometimes it is the story or the feeling that you want to convey that appears first. This illustration is part of a series about winged beings and represents dream and inspiration. Dreams have always been important to me. I dream a lot and sometimes I have more perma- nent memories of dreams than of real experiences. You have a whole series of women doing yoga. What does yoga mean to you? I have practiced yoga, tai chi, and meditation for years. These practices are a very important part of my day, to get to know myself and find meaning.

Snakes, in addition to having some mystery, have a sinuous shape that works for me. Really, in my daily life I’ve been surrounded mainly by dogs and cats. There are symbols that have accompanied me for years—moons, stars, eyes, palm trees, all kinds of animals, all these are elements related to mystery, to the hidden.

    Composing the Gulf Coast: Narratives of Environmental Toxicity, Racial Injustice, and Carbon Energy Across Modalities A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Juliette Michèle Lapeyrouse-Cherry IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Daniel J. Philippon, Adviser May 2019 © Juliette Lapeyrouse-Cherry 2019 i Acknowledgements I want to begin by thanking my dissertation committee. Thanks especially to my advisor Dan Philippon, for the many helpful comments and words of encouragement. Thank you, Ron Greene, for being one of the most influential teachers I’ve ever had and for consistently asking the most thought-provoking questions. Thank you, Tom Reynolds, for always being available to talk with me about writing pedagogy and ecocomposition. And finally, thank you, Charlotte Melin, for your perspective from the environmental humanities, and for giving me the opportunity, along with Dan, to work with the Environmental Humanities Initiative. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from many great teachers over the course of my graduate education. In particular, I want to thank Clancy Ratliff, my MA advisor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, who taught me how to be a writing teacher. I am also thankful to have worked with two phenomenal scholars early in my time at the University of Minnesota: the late Carol Berkenkotter, who was my first advisor and shaped my thinking on genre, and Christina Haas, Professor Emerita, whose sharp questions and thoughtful critiques made me a better thinker and writer. It has been a privilege to be part of the community of graduate students in the Department of Writing Studies over the past 5 years.
