Lieven Ameel<\/strong> is a senior lecturer in comparative literature at Tampere University, Finland. In his research, he focuses on urban futures across textual genres, uncertain ontologies in 21st century literature, narrated experiences of space, rhetorical structures in urban planning, place names in literature, representations of shorelines, and parkour, among others. His research areas include American literature of the long 20th century, Finnish and Nordic literature, as well as the literature of the Low Countries (Netherlands & Belgium). Much of his work involves cross-reading different textual genres, from the Bildungsroman to urban planning documents, from the graphic novel or epic poetry to policy visions. His most recent book is The Narrative Turn in Urban Planning: Plotting the Helsinki Waterfront<\/em> (Routledge 2020). He is the editor of the Routledge Companion to Literary Urban Studies<\/em>.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Anthony Rowland<\/strong> is a poet and academic, currently working as the professor of Modern and contemporary poetry at Manchester Metropolitan University. His poetry has been published extensively in journals, magazines and anthologies including Critical Quarterly, Stand, P.N. Review, New Poetries III (Carcanet, 2002), and the Bloodaxe anthology Identity Parade (2010). He received an Eric Gregory Award in 2000, and a Learning Northwest Award in 2001. His first collection, The Land of Green Ginger, published by Salt in 2008, was well-received, with reviewers drawing comparisons with the work of poets as disparate as John Ashbery and Ezra Pound. Rowland\u2019s writing is at the forefront of a developing strand of contemporary British poetry, which connects the established mainstream with the avant-garde, without either diluting the seriousness of the latter\u2019s engagement with language, or failing to startle, amuse and intrigue through his imaginative flair \u2013 often realised through the form of monologue.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
