Representing Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument: Encounters with a U.S. Public Lands Artist-in-Residence Program
From Thomas Moran to Ansel Adams, artists have long played a significant role in shaping perceptions of U.S. public lands. Although there are currently more than seventy active artist-in-residence (AIR) programs at federal U.S. public lands sites, research investigating the work of these programs is limited. In this article, we examine the AIR program at Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks (OMDP) National Monument. Established in 2014, OMDP encompasses …
Imagining alternative climate futures in higher education
Across the globe, interdisciplinary and creative approaches to climate change education are crucial at all levels, particularly in higher education. In this article, I draw from insights working with a class at New Mexico State University in the United States. The aim was to examine approaches to understanding, communicating, and representing climate change. Each student was asked to compose a narrative in which they imagined the year 2100 as a t…
Road trip field course
Field study and field courses are integral to the discipline of geography. While there are many forms that a field course might take, in this paper we draw on two university-level field courses in the U.S. Southwest to propose a road trip pedagogy for field study. We reflect on the particular resonance of the road trip in the American West and how Western road trip mythology, combined with our own road trip experiences, helped shape the design of…
On form, self, and the potential of geopoetics
The generous commentaries provided by Acker, Cresswell, Engelmann, and Nassar in response to my article, ‘Climate Geopoetics (The Earth is a Composted Poem)’, point to various potentialities for the geopoetic project upon and beyond the page. In this response, I focus on three threads woven through the commentaries: form, self, and potential
Climate geopoetics (the earth is a composted poem)
This article begins with a climate poem and ends with a climate poem. In between, I explore what it means to do climate geopoetics. The first section addresses recent literary work that engages with climate change and the Anthropocene and outlines the geopoetic field as it is currently emerging as a subfield of the geohumanities. Next, I turn to examining climate narratives and frames; following the lead of many human geographers and environmenta…
An art-science approach to bycatch in the Gulf of California shrimp trawling fishery
This piece blends prose, poetry, and drawings in a geopoetic approach to bycatch in the Gulf of California shrimp trawling fishery. We briefly communicate some of the ecological effects of the trawling industry and reflect on our collaboration as an art–science practice that draws on our multiple disciplinary backgrounds, one as a geographer-poet and the other as a marine ecologist–visual artist. We present two poems and drawings addressed to spe…

Situating Geopoetics
The form of the ars poetica is one in which the poet makes a statement on the art of poetry. Consider this a kind of ars-geo-poetica, a groundsetting for and statement on geopoetics that intends to both situate and to break open the field. This is an invitation for geopoetic texts and practices that draw on the work of poets as well as geographers, for an enchanted, earthy, and transaesthetic approach that moves to juxtapose contemporary poetics,…
