Abstract
dc:description.abstractThis hybrid collection of nonfiction essays and poems explores contemporary ways of being, neuroses, personal relationships, mental illness, and aims to pinpoint how these elements influence one another. I am interested in how society shapes social thought, and in many of my essays and poems I offer my lived experiences as a means of gathering evidence of the failures intrinsic to capitalism’s design. I am constantly overwhelmed by the fast-paced, consumeristic, and destructive ideologies that accompany modern life’s recipe for survival, and this collection seeks to document the place where illness, the individual, and society merge.
