This study is focused on the Alpine poetry and prose of the Stephen Watson, a noted (and unfortunately deceased) South African poet. Watson’s poetry on the Alps encompasses one long poem, and excerpts of three other poems. His prose on the Alps includes excerpts from two books. His work on the Alps has been published over five decades between 1982 and 2024. The poet provides an original and highly descriptive view of the Alps, nothwithstanding the facts that he was a newcomer to the range and that he was not a trained geographer. The methodology involved an analysis of the mountain geography of the writing using map interpretation and common themes in mountain geography. A theorist on spatial abilities will also be employed. I was particularly interested in the writing as it related to alpine meteorology and bioclimatology. The findings show that the poet’s work reflects a deep understanding and iconic description of the mountain geography of the Alps, both in terms of consciousness and observation.
