Abstract Details

2019, Master of Fine Arts, Miami University, English.
In this hybrid poetry compilation, I am exploring personal and universal identity by utilizing the formal aspects of collage, verse, prose, charts, and multimodal artifacts. Each chapter contains its own focus, though overall can be read according to the reader’s sensibility; each page is an experience– an inner and outer exploration of symbol and meaning and tone– much like those described in I. A. Richard’s Science and Poetry, but in a contemporary rendering which draws inspiration from texts like Olio and The Black Automaton. In this project I have merged many mediums, including a stack of letters from the summer of 1942 written by my paternal grandparents; photos and pdf files of these letters, scanned by my Mother; images and illustrations from science textbooks, gardening magazines, and art anthologies cut and pasted into Surrealist style collage; overheard text; memory; dreams; love notes; as well as the uncategorizable material of lived experience.
