It is now widely accepted that our experience of the world is deeply shaped by concepts of space. From territorial borders, to distinctions between public and private space, to the way we dwell in a building or move between rooms, space is central to how we inhabit our environment and make sense of our place within it. Little wonder, then, that space shapes our very language, both in our metaphors (as with “central” and “deeply”) and in what and how we write. Even the movement of the pencil across the page, or the cursor across the screen, is a spatial phenomenon, and one that creative writers and poets have integrated into their work. Literature explores and gives expression to the myriad ways in which space impacts human experience.
