Geometer is a new cultural magazine dedicated to breaking the boundaries
between disciplines and offering a platform for interesting work in any
format, including essay, poetry, prose, fiction, critique and profile, art,
photography and music.  

Geometer seeks writers of all disciplines interested in articulating their
speciality for a broad but intelligent audience. We are particularly
interested in short essays or articles on little known topics with resonance
beyond their immediate area. We welcome all areas of thought: historians
interrogating the forgotten or ignored, biologists, and neuroscientists with
an eye for the cultural ramifications of their fields, architects and
planners, geologists, musicians, researchers, film makers and artists of all
kinds.

Our aim is to create a place for cultural and intellectual life outside of
academia, outside of the commercial, and outside of the ever-proliferating
range of narrow specialisations in the arts and sciences. 
Named for the geometer moth* whose caterpillar, lacking the means to crawl
appears to measure the world by the iterations of its forward movement, we
take our direction from our namesake and from the many other associations of
our name. We value subjective precision, earthbound ambition, and an
empiricism grounded in the surfaces of contact between ourselves and the world. 

Current and forthcoming articles include: 
·	The thin margins of Glenn Gould's Idea of North
·	Peter Philpot profiles the "magickal modernist" poet Paul Holman
·	Zero Sum: How We Came to Distrust the Modern 
·	'Tears in a Monsoon': Lil Wayne, Girl Talk and the Paradox of Choice
·	A profile of musician, producer and sound artist Will Turner Duffin

Geometer is an independent and non-commercial enterprise. 

*Over 300 varieties of geometer moth occur in the British Isles, 26,000
worldwide. The family name geometer, meaning literally 'earth-measurer',
refers to the method of locomotion of its caterpillars, which lack the means
to crawl. Instead the geometer caterpillar grasps the ground ahead with its
forelegs, and by drawing up its hind end and arching its body, grips an
adjacent point with its hind legs before propelling itself forward, reaching
out to clasp a more distant point. In this way it appears that the
caterpillar measures the earth by iterations of this same movement, using
the length of its own body as its basic unit of measurement.
