Sohini Sen Abstract: Space is often perceived as places where events or incidents occur. In reading space as a passive vacuum, experiences and events are very often interpreted only in terms of a chronologically structured, temporally arranged narrative. However, invoking and investigating into the specific language in which the places are represented and constructed through memory, clearly reveal the dynamics of spatial negotiation and organization. This paper attempts to deconstruct such a simplistic understanding of places in Alan Riach’s poetry collection Clearances in order to examine the politics of spatiality and the spatial plotting of places. Bio-Note: Sohini Sen is currently teaching at Gobardanga Hindu College. She post-graduated from Jadavpur University and is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Scottish Literature. Her other areas of interest include Women’s Writing, Partition Literature, Memory Studies, Victorian Studies, and Postcolonial Literature.
