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.

Komik zählt zu jenen schillernden Phänomenen - wie Liebe, Neugierde, Imagination -, die den Menschen allezeit in ihren Bann ziehen, zum Nachdenken anregen und ihn und seine Kultur in Bewegung halten. Komik ist so faszinierend, wie sie komplex ist. Das kulturelle wie literarische Phänomen entzieht sich den Systematisierungs-, Definitions- und Theoriebildungsbestrebungen von Philosophie und Wissenschaft. In dem Diskussionsbeitrag wird der Komik die nicht minder rätselhafte Emergenz an die Seite gestellt. Mithilfe des Emergenzgedankens vermögen nicht-determinierte Vorgänge in den Blick genommen zu werden, die sich durch eine komplexe Dynamik auszeichnen. Es kommt zu Kippmomenten und Transformationen - unvorhersehbare Phänomene entstehen. Dieser Band geht den folgenden Fragen nach: Veranschaulicht die Komik das universale Prinzip der Emergenz? Macht das literarische Phänomen samt seiner Effekte die Entstehung des lebendigen Emergenten erfahrbar? Exemplarisch wird das Konzept von Komik als Emergenz mit Texten von Goetz, Heine und Lewitscharoff konfrontiert.

The natural world is the theme for the poems in this collection. Here, I Can Breathe includes poems about the countryside, the sea, the changing seasons and that good old British favourite, the weather.Many of the poems were inspired by walks in the countryside, for example, along the lanes of Devon and the South West Coast Path or amongst the Lake District fells. Some are narrative poems, some are descriptions of particular rural places, and others more generally describe the countryside observed, or the feelings engendered, whilst being out in the open air.
