This book is concerned with the complexities of defining 'place',
of observing and 'seeing' place, and how we might write a poetics
of place. From Kathy Acker to indigenous Australian poet Jack
Davis, the book touches on other writers and theorists, but in
essence is a hands-on 'praxis' book of poetic practice. The work
extends John Kinsella's theory of 'international regionalism' and
posits new ways of reading the relationship between place and
individual, between individual and the natural environment, and how
place occupies the person as much as the person occupies place. It
provides alternative readings of writers through place and space,
especially Australian writers, but also non-Australian. Further,
close consideration is given to being of 'famine-migrant' Irish
heritage and the complexities of 'returning'. A close-up
examination of 'belonging' and exclusion is made on a day-to-day
basis. The book offers an approach to creating poems and literary
texts constituted by experiencing multiple places, developing a
model of polyvalent belonging known as 'polysituatedness'. It works
as a companion volume to Kinsella's earlier Manchester University
Press critical work, Disclosed Poetics: Beyond Landscape to
Lyricism. -- .
