Machined Music

In this master thesis, the candidate presents his collection of original poems, accompanied by a critical introduction, which explains his writing and revision process. In the critical introduction, careful attention is given to his conception of what and how poetry does what it does as well as the process of revising the entire manuscript and what already published texts helped him the most in reworking, reordering and retitling the collection. The candidate asserts, through his critical introduction, and in the poems themselves, that his poetry is carefully constructed syntax artificially made to seem as a natural utterance and that this concept has developed during his graduate work at the University of Missouri – Kansas City.
