Abstract
This creative thesis is divided into two parts. The first part, "Origami," features short poems that meditate in the space where the everyday world disrupts imagination, leading at times to revision of memory, lyrical grumbling, and mythologizing experience. Many of these poems are influenced by traditional Chinese and Japanese poetic forms. Part two, "Noplaces," is a long poem that explores a mystifying and imposing suburban landscape of massive strip malls, endless housing tracts, and car-centered infrastructure. The poem consists of lyrical and narrative modes juxtaposed with haiku. A desire to draw from and be tempered by Far Eastern poetic and philosophical sensibilities is a thread running throughout.
