Q4. What literary e-journals foster a sense of place?
Some Journals
Not solely focused on ecological issues, The Straddler
is nonetheless an interesting new online venue for
the literature of place.
I'd be remiss to create a list of digital literary media that fosters a sense of place without including Terrain.org, so let's get that one out of the way, eh?
Terrain.org: A Journal of the Built & Natural Environments
A biannual, theme-based journal that includes editorials, poetry, essays, fiction, articles, reviews, an interview, the ARTerrain gallery, and the UnSprawl case study in each issue.
Other online environmental journals include:
Canary: A Literary Journal of the Environmental Crises
"So often the poets of a culture are the canaries, the first ones to be hurt by trends so large that they are not immediately visible. This time the poets are raising our voices on behalf of the natural world, which cannot articulate its plight."
Elsewhere: A Journal for the Literature of Place
A journal dedicated to publishing a broad range of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction that expresses a "storied relationship" to place, to quote Barry Lopez.
In the Mist: An Outdoor Literary Magazine
A magazine by and for women that includes poetry, prose, travel writing, and artwork.
Silk Road: A Journal of Writings on Place
"Silk Road offers writing that takes readers into locations — real or imagined, minute or vast, evolving or timeless."
The Straddler
The Straddler is an online interdisciplinary journal of culture, publishing innovative criticism, essays, art, poetry, fiction and interviews, all of which aim to examine and transform their cultural context.
Surprisingly, that's pretty much it for environmental (and place/culture) journals publishing solely online.
