FE4.10 - Geopoetics

“We need geopoetics because geopolitics necessitate other ways of being… Proposing alternate narratives to the hegemonic ones we are caught in is the work and play of geopoetics.”

– Erin Robinsong, Geopoetics in the Mess/Mesh

The feet are the link

Between earth and the body. Begin there.

The lungs are the link between body and air.

The hands, these uprooted feet, are the means

Of our shaping and grasping. Clasp them.

The eyes are the hands of the head;

its feet are the ears.
