Abstract Increased collaborations between geomorphologists and artists have recently been suggested as possible ways of improving the visibility of geomorphology and of stimulating interest in and engagement with the discipline. As a well‐established art form, poetry provides a unique set of challenges and opportunities for such collaborations. Here, we present two original poems about an enigmatic coastal landform and surrounding landscape—Dinas Dinlle hillfort, north Wales—and reflect on the wider potential of poetry to facilitate enchantment with, and communication of, geomorphology. We discuss how poetry's potential could be employed particularly effectively in two specific sectors: (1) education, through aligning field experiences with creative writing sessions, and by linking with emerging cross‐curricular concepts such as cynefin in Wales and ‘greening the curriculum’; and (2) heritage, where links between geomorphology and social and cultural history can be made in collaboration with archaeologists and heritage managers. We contend that poetry can contribute to creating a more diverse and inclusive discipline by fostering increased engagement and facilitating discussions between different actors, including the more‐than‐human elements of landscape.
