Abstract Details

2003, Master of Arts, Miami University, English.
The poems in this collection attend to the potential lushness of language and meaning. The risks taken often involve finding the balance between sense and nonce. When it works, the poems encourage a productive negotiation and discovery of aesthetic and sense-oriented meaning, the foregrounding of meaning as a material construction. The poems are most often free verse and tilt from memory’s landscapes and inhabitants to explorations of relationships that sometimes succeed and sometimes collapse. Those poems that record lost hope nevertheless struggle to maintain trust between poet and reader.
