    Abstract

    The role of the geohumanities has been central to expanding literary geography and opens possibilities to 'imagine worlds'; yet it is vital to engage with Indigenous, more-than-human, and decolonial accounts to reimagine writing the earth otherwise, highlighting critical work in political ecology and the environmental humanities to further expand literary geography. In this chapter, an exploration of geos (earth) imaginations resituates plurality and multiplicity in earth imaginings beyond a Western, Eurocentric gaze, while further sections centre decoloniality, and lively, more-than-human, Indigenous geographical research. How do we imagine places, landscapes, and regions? Where are we imagining? Where are we imagining from? What texts are we concerned with? Who has authored them?.
