Imagined Spaces
Exciting and provocative essays in a collection that is fun, entertaining, and deeply serious.
In words and images that explore our environment, culture and architecture, that reflect on literary and artistic creation, mortality, mental health, depression, the North (as a place both real and imagined) and education, Imagined Spaces returns the essay to its original activity of having a go, trying and weighing something out, taking a risk.

This is a lovely book to hold and look at. It has an elegant cover and the paper is good quality. The ink is pale and quiet.
Despite some suggestion to the contrary by the editors and various contributors the writing feels more like creative non-fiction than essays. Each piece is on the whole well written and has a strong voice and this is what keeps you reading rather than the content of the essays.
The formatting is odd. More like web formatting. Not to industry or academic standard for print. There are extra lines between paragraphs. All paragraphs are full out and the lines are ragged right. Is this eccentric? Is is effective? Is it even deliberate?
There are end notes but no notes added to the text. This doesn't make it easy for the serious readers.
There ares some surprising typos and grammatical mistakes for a volume of this nature. If you can forgive these oddities it is worth a read.
