#creative geography

In this episode I talk to Tim Cresswell, professor of history and international affairs and associate director for public humanities at Northeastern University (Boston, MA, USA), about becoming a poet, being a geographer and practicing creative geography. Our starting point is his article, “Geographies of poetry/poetries of geography,” cultural geographies 2014, Vol. 21 (1): 141-146 (read the abstract). 

Professor Cresswell has two published volumes of poetry, Soil (Penned in the Margins, 2013) and Fence (Penned in the Margins, 2015). You can read his poems in a number of other places online, including The Londonist, The Stockholm Review of Literature and Lemon Hound.  

In the first episode of the podcast I talk to Stephen Daniels, Professor of Cultural Geography and Director of the AHRC Landscape and Environment Programme at the University of Nottingham, and Lucy Veale, Research Fellow in the School of Geography at the University of Nottingham, about their short film, "Imagining Change: Coastal Conversations," and related article, "Imagining coastal change: reflections on making a film," cultural geographies 2014, Vol. 21 (3): 497-504 (read the abstract).

I wrote my mom on Mother's Day, "Since I couldn't send you a real card from Antarctica, I thought I would make you an e-card in the shape of it!"
