Grotesque Evolutions

This original collection of poems explores personal transformation, specifically through three overarching themes: the dream and its significance to waking life and the psyche, the hybridization of the human body with animals or the dismemberment of the body, and the discovery of self through human relationships. The manuscript is divided into three sections set off by epigraphs (take note that these do not represent the three themes mentioned above). The first takes on more of a naive, anxious tone, the second presents the beginnings of revelation and growth, and the third deals ultimately with some form of acceptance—not necessarily acceptance of a unified self but rather acceptance that the self is always in flux.
