Overview

"The goal of this thesis is to provide a thorough interrogation of memory and place from a personal point of view. Within this collection of poems, the town of Coventry, Rhode Island and its impact on my life is investigated, along with familial relationships, death, catholic school, and antisemitism that I have experienced and meditated on. Each poem offers a snapshot of a memory and is as accurate as my mind will allow. The way that returning to a place evokes memory is something that weighs heavily on these poems. The form of these poems vary, experimenting with free verse, prose, and haibun forms with attention to line and image. The arrangement of the poems reflects the way that my thought process works, each section beginning in the present and moving to past experiences, the way memories often come back to me." -- Abstract
