It is composed of three parts, namely, a research- based thesis, a community based cultural initiative and a poetry collection that collectively address these questions: The writing of &#x2018;i/Bog&#x2019;, my poetry collection, is an exposition of the relationship between our human world and the natural world. It is set out as an emotional paradigm to both counter and illuminate the scientific reports on environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity and climate change. We need to look in the creative space to understand loss, legacy, and the imperative to restore harmony in the great cycles of the planet. Figures that tell us of carbon dioxide emissions levels, elevations of sea temperature, species at risk of extinction can be crisp and quantifiable but compete with a welter of data and definitions that obscure meaningfulness. I propose that we need to move beyond the horizon of an understanding formed by tangible evidence into an awareness that speaks to our urgency of being. The writing works it way through this space with an obligation to address two key questions. How do we mediate our relationship with the natural world? How do we acknowledge the existential threat facing nature and by extension human life? Poetry offers a language and a sensory experience that exists in a sphere separate to scientific evidence. Language becomes jargon when we focus on meaning and its precisions. Poetry restores to language a power that is aural and visual as well as verbal. Humans are inspired by stories and a narrative thread gives both a satisfying logical comprehension and sense of security. When we challenge ourselves to move beyond meaning and listen to our senses then we can understand how we can and must redefine our relationship with nature from exploitation to safeguarding. A spiritual space emerges that invites us to merge with the rhythm of the planet and elicit a response that is imaginative and intuitive.</abstract><type>E-Thesis</type><journal/><volume/><journalNumber/><paginationStart/><paginationEnd/><publisher/><placeOfPublication>Swansea</placeOfPublication><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint/><issnElectronic/><keywords>Creative Writing, Concrete Poetry, Climate Crisis, Migration, Community Participation, Cultural Engagements, Concrete &amp;amp; Visual Poetry, Creative Practice, Multi-media, Poetry Films, 3-D Poetry</keywords><publishedDay>12</publishedDay><publishedMonth>1</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2023</publishedYear><publishedDate>2023-01-12</publishedDate><doi>10.23889/SUthesis.62335</doi><url/><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><supervisor>Kellerman, Alan</supervisor><degreelevel>Doctoral</degreelevel><degreename>Ph.D</degreename><apcterm/><funders/><projectreference/><lastEdited>2023-02-09T11:08:44.1615543</lastEdited><Created>2023-01-16T13:14:12.6526302</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences</level><level id="2">School of Culture and Communication - English Literature, Creative Writing</level></path><authors><author><firstname>MARGARET</firstname><surname>POPP</surname><order>1</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>62335__26303__256e1f95ddf24c229d265cde1638d445.pdf</filename><originalFilename>Hannigan_Popp_M_PhD_Thesis_Final_Redacted_Signature.pdf.pdf</originalFilename><uploaded>2023-01-16T13:35:46.7546529</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>7902906</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>E-Thesis &#x2013; open access</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><documentNotes>Copyright: The author, Margaret Hannigan Popp, 2023.
