Virtual Sense of Place

By , May 12, 2009 5:46 pm

Check out this hypertext essay by Terrain.org editor Simmons B. Buntin:
The premise: Whether virtual or actual, what drives strong community and a sustainable nexus between the built and natural environments is sense of place. The purpose of this interactive position statement is to explore sense of place in the context of ecological media — for e-zines like Terrain.org: A Journal of the Built & Natural Environments that work at the nexus of literature and environment, and otherwise.
The essay was developed for the Ecological Media seminar which precedes the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment (ASLE) biennial conference this June in Victoria, B.C. Terrain.org will have a table at the conference. Simmons is participating in the seminar and also reading his essay “Songbird,” appearing in the current issue of Hawk & Handsaw: The Journal of Creative Sustainability, as part of the Wildbranch Writing Workshop Essays panel.

Terrain.org Editor Interviewed by MiPOesias Magazine

By , October 7, 2007 4:21 pm

Simmons B. Buntin, the editor of Terrain.org, was recently interviewed for MiPOesias’s Men of the Web Wide Poetry World blog. An excerpt:

7) Where do you see your publication/editing in 5 years?

In five years Terrain.org should just about be on Issue No. 30. I envision more interactive features–Flash-based poems and video essays, for example, and article/essay commenting from readers. We’re also considering online chapbooks and annual contests. The web is moving to handheld devices, so a “mobile” version of Terrain.org seems in order.

What I hope you won’t (continue to) see is advertising.
