Human Geographies

In Human Geographies, Megan Muthupandiyan turns her focus toward an exploration of how sacred and secular travel destinations become conduits of culture, meaning, and interpersonal relationships. Featuring poems written during her travels on four continents, the volume celebrates how body/memory can give rise to a felt intimacy everywhere. Human Geographies is rooted in a multimedia travel project involving photography and poetry which Muthupandiyan started nearly three decades ago. Featuring GPS coordinates which direct readers to the place that has inspired each poem, it is a companion to Muthupandiyan's award winning Of the Earth and Other Desires.
