The Abstract of the Creative Writing Capstone Project

Abstract

This Creative Writing Capstone Project investigates themes of place, memory, the body, and their respective relationship(s) to language. The poems range from short lyric pieces to longer, multi-sectioned meditations. Formalistically experimental, these works seek to actualize pace and breath through language and use of the page. Many of the poems draw on personal experiences and autobiography, while others inhabit a more abstract, mythic realm of description.
