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.
