Island river breath I

Ecozon European Journal of Literature Culture and Environment, vol. 17, pp. 341–358

Abstract

This creative-critical text explores the voices of the delta on and around the Eiland Van Brienenoord, an island in the river Meuse in the city of Rotterdam. In doing so, the piece explores the poetics of theoretical reflections and concepts from the field of blue and environmental humanities. Starting with the "ghosts" of the lost salmon population, the text follows the flow of the tides to explore the island's polyphony, with emphasis on more-than-human voices, such as mud, algae, boulders, brambles and invasive parakeets.
