Overview
"The goal of this dissertation is to provide an individual perspective within the prevailing homogeneous societal opinion. The poems in this MFA thesis map my observations of our impossibly complete world, while examining the authenticity of chatter, the blurry lines of my imagination, the grey area of blended family, the precariousness of foreclosure, and the difficulties of defining oneself after coming-out. In this attempt at understanding what makes me human, the collection interrogates intention while studying the reliability of our collective shittiness. Here, the act of wondering holds great power and identity markers become a fogging of truth. In an attempt to avoid imposing arbitrary importance and meaning and to create an individual artistic space for each piece, I’ve chosen to write the following poems with minimal adherence to grammar systems. Capitalization and punctuation are used sparingly, while short lines, limited stanza breaks, and italics are utilized to take subtle control over the hierarchy of my own language." -- Abstract
