THINE

<b><i>THINE </i>explores shifting iterations of the poetic self both in body and in perspective within the context of rapidly changing landscapes in the American West.</b><br> <br> <i>THINE</i>'s observational approach draws together ecopoetics with art and myth turning a skeptical eye toward predictions of both apocalypse and hope. In conversation with artistic renderings of and against the self in the West-Agnes Martin's grids Willa Cather's letters Walter di Maria's <i>The Lightning Field</i>-these poems find beauty in the impermanence of land animals and people. <i>THINE </i>meditates with affectionate irony on what it means to make new lives in the midst of the unknown.
