These inquiries are housed in a predetermined premise that - attempts to capture memory and experiences are inherently fractured. These capture attempts of objects and places facilitated ‘the owner’ are charged and ask questions such as: What happens in the movement from a familiar to a strange place? How does one own a place? When attempted, does it result in an in-betweenness of home? What happens in the grey spaces of searching and understanding? These prose poems also intentionally create spaces of exploration for the reader and invite them to project their own experiences onto the page.application/pdfen-USCC BYfractureobjectspersonificationplacespoetryProseCreative writingTo Be AssignedThesis
