Galaxie

This collection of poems primarily features play of language, image, and voice. A postmodern juxtaposition of ancient figures and contemporary ideas, as well as a blurring of the line between autobiography and fiction, revises familiar stories. My goal is to seek what is surprising, daring-a strength of voice combining with a sometimes casual tone which hints towards deeper circumstances. Most specifically, my work exists within a fictional landscape which allows the creation of "a safe space." The gesture of the poem stops everything, commentates on what is suspended and the suspension itself.
