DescriptionThis collection of poems is separated into three sections that can be interpreted as Identity, Place or Position, and Things. Although not clear cut, this collection explores these thematic elements by questioning and manipulating language, exploring the musicality of language and modernizing traditional forms. Memory is a large focus of the work, and is woven into each of the sections. What I leave for the reader is a body of work that questions Identity as a whole; how where we come from, and where we’re going, might shape us. The title SALT comes from the coastal phrase “Salt water heals everything,” and reflects the significance of water throughout the body of the thesis.
