ABSTRACT
This piece is geopoetics in practice. It is a response to a call issued by geographers for a more entangled way of writing about the world. I explore a possible form for the practice of geopoetics concerned with place and landscape. The form of this chapter is a reflection of its content. The text (dialogue, essay, poems) on the left side of the page is mine; the text on the right features other voices, encouraging this piece to become a conversation. The right-hand quotes are meant as a kind of curatorial exercise, presenting that which speaks to the topic of geopoetics and placing it in conversation with other works, including my own. The form itself owes a debt to Jan Zwicky, who, in Wisdom and Metaphor and Lyric Philosophy, provides beautiful and thoughtful proof of how academic and creative work might each speak more fully when presented in dialogue.
