Boneyard Shifts and Shadow Work is a collection of poems completed in requirement of graduation from the Northeastern Ohio Masters of Fine Arts Program in Creative Writing. The poems in this manuscript are based in part on the post-modern theory of pastiche – written in language pasted together from world mythologies, science fiction, pop-culture, hipsters, the Anglo-Saxon alliterative tradition, and DJ culture this manuscript attempts to paint a landscape in which the psychopomp or shaman is a primary character. The manuscript also employs composition by field and persona poetry as primary poetic devices.
