Abstract

The final chapter in this collection is presented in the form of a poetic portrayal as Creative Milieux for the socioecological learner. Through the engagement of the touchstone concepts of the Anthropocene, Posthumanism and Common Worlds we reclaim the socioecological learner through the engagement of such Creative Milieux as entangled concepts. Using Hemingway’s 6-word memoir as a creative pivot, and the praxis of enabling constraints, this chapter dovetails the collection, not as summary but rather as a launching.

(With 6 word memoirs by Judith Wilks, Marianne Logan, Angela Turner & Wendy Boyd)
