Variegations

William Keenan has a First Class BSc (Soc) (London University) and a PhD (NTU) and has over 80 research publications on religion and culture, dress codes, postmodernity, and higher education. He has edited four interdisciplinary volumes and, for a time, the journal Implicit Religion. He finds in 'sociopoetics' a creative antidote to the somewhat formulaic literary regimes of academia; and considers Variegations, his first published collection of poetry, a contribution to rebalancing the 'two cultures' - Arts and Science - in favour of the Humanities. His recent published work is on the transdisciplinary challenges posed by the supercomplex 'wicked problems' of the Anthropocene. William hopes his poems provide for readers a challenging - unusual, even - mix of serious reflection and outright fun.
