Bücher von Tim Cresswell

What is the relationship between place and behaviour? In this volume, the author examines this question via "transgressive acts" that are judged as inappropriate not only because they are committed by marginalized groups but also because of where they occur.

Fence is an epic of fragments that is at once beautiful and beautifully strange. In his exploration of the vast, frozen Svalbard islands, poet and geographer Tim Cresswell has created a kind of travel poetry whose taut, minimalist lyric synthesises subjects as diverse as history, politics and Arctic ecology.

Geography and language collide in Soil by Tim Cresswell. His poems delight in the strange, situated at the cusp of natural and urban. A fox climbs a London skyscraper; municipal trees are displaced from their mountain habitats; sandworts take root in abandoned mine shafts; geological time is glimpsed through the 'crushed structures' of the city.
