About This Blog

The aim of this blog is to stimulate thought, invite discussion, share links, and build community among readers and writers who care about place.

At least once a week you’ll find a new post on some topic related to place. Some days it’ll be a book review, or a movie review, or a comment on music or art. Some days it will explore a particular place or mull over a writing issue. Some posts will riff on a word or a phrase from science, or architecture, or some other fertile field for thought. Some will be written by me, others by guest writers.

Occasionally you’ll find a “seed”, a quote or an image or a writing exercise or a list or an evocative word you can use to sprout your own live creation. If you want more, check out the separate “seedbank” page. Every week I’ll shake it up with three seeds from past posts or from readers suggestions.

I’d love to have you join the conversation.  Jump in with comments!  Find out why I started the blog by checking out my first post. And be sure to send me a note at summerwood@thewhereofit.com with your idea if you’d like to write a guest post.

Welcome to the where of it.
