Om denne bog
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.
