Geometer seeks writers of all disciplines interested in articulating their
specialism for a broad but intelligent audience. We welcome historians
interrogating the forgotten or obscured, biologists and neuroscientists with
an eye for the cultural ramifications of their fields, architects and
planners, geologists, musicians, film makers and artists of all kinds.
www.geometer.org.uk is a new non-commercial cultural magazine dedicated to
publishing interesting work in any format, including poetry, prose, essay,
fiction, critique and profile, art, photography and music.
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.
Current and forthcoming articles include:
* Peter Philpot profiles the magickal modernist Paul Holman
* Bronnt Industries Kapital discuss their rescore of the silent
witchcraft classic Häxan
* We interview James Byrne of Wolf Magazine, poets David Grubb and
Rupert Loydell and artists Chiharu Shiota and Guy Denning
* Matt Cole discusses Lil Wayne, Girl Talk and the Paradox of Choice
* We profile of musician, producer and sound artist Will Turner Duffin
* Adam Burbage asks how we came to distrust the modern
Plus more essay, music, new fiction and poetry
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
value subjective precision, earthbound ambition, and an empiricism grounded
in the surfaces of contact between ourselves and the world.
Geometer invites submissions of essays, artwork, photo essay, fiction,
poetry, history, comment - engaged work in any format.

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.
