Poetry & Geography examines the rich diversity of geographical
imaginations informing post-war and contemporary poetry in Britain
and Ireland. Drawing impetus from the spatial turn in the
humanities and social sciences, the fourteen essays collected here
appraise the significance of ideas of space, place, and landscape
for 'mainstream' and 'experimental' poets, post-romantics and
neo-modernists alike. Cumulatively, the book's varied articulations
of poetry and geography sketch out a series of intersections
between language and location, form and environment, sound and
space. Poetry's unique capacity to invigorate and expand our
vocabularies of site and situation, of our manifold relations with
the world outside us, is described and explored. Bringing together
fresh, interdisciplinary readings of poets as diverse as Roy Fisher
and R.S. Thomas, John Burnside and Thomas Kinsella, Jo Shapcott and
Peter Riley, Alice Oswald and Ciaran Carson, Poetry & Geography
sketches a topographical map of shared poetic terrains. It
contributes to a fertile set of dialogues between literary studies
and cultural geography in which the valences of space and place are
open to processes of contestation and reimagining. This new
collection of critical essays provides readers with a vital set of
coordinates in a complex and evolving field. Key themes include:
place and identity; literary cartographies; walking as trope and
spatial practice; the poetics of edges, margins, and peripheries;
landscape, language, and form.
