Abstract
This collection of poem considers and comments upon various aspects of human experience related to time, memory, and storytelling. The poems often utilize surrealist techniques as a means to explore personal history and popular culture. In keeping with Dadaist tradition, objects from nature are often recontextualized as manmade objects. Though not linked specifically by an overarching narrative, several of the poems revolve around a central unnamed character who is lost in the woods behind his own house.
