One of These Things: A Poetic Exploration of Waste and Discordant Objects

I also introduce and differentiate between garbage and my proposed concept of discordant objects and how these objects have inspired my poetic and creative writing practice. The essay concludes with a poem and photograph of one such discordant object.
