🏆 2024 Best Paper Prize
Abbi Flint
Poetry, paths, and peatlands: integrating poetic inquiry within landscape heritage research
Landscape Research, 49(1), 4–18.
Flint explores poetry as a means of engaging with landscapes, demonstrating how poetic inquiry can be a powerful and appropriate method for researching landscapes and their heritage. Drawing on examples from a research practice that involves creating new poems through a process called poetic transcription, Flint argues that poetic inquiry remains an underutilised approach in landscape heritage research.

Landscape Research, 49(1), 102–114
In the article, Rasmussen contributes to the conversation about how we co-exist by presenting multispecies ‘compost stories’ of the Norwegian town Vardø, which seems to be well underway in a post-Arctic shift.
