Political formations as ‘structures of feeling’: Organization in an impasse | Ephemeral Journal
I've written a short book review of @benandersongeog.bsky.social and @ajsecor.bsky.social, The Politics of Feeling. It's now available open access in the incomparable ephemera.
I hope it does some justice to the book and maybe even leads others to pick it up.

First glimpse of the cover of The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Geographies - and I think it is beautiful! The image is Franz Marc, "The Bewitched Mill"(1905) - human and nonhuman, science and magic, dark and light, wondrous!

At long last, my new book, Edges of Care: Living and Dying in No Man's Land, is now out!
