I am currently finishing my doctorate in poetry and poetics from the University of Nevada Las Vegas, where I was a Schaeffer fellow. I received my MFA from the University of Iowa and have had work published, most recently, in
Volt and Denver Quarterly.
a purpose, not an instrument
even as it packaged, it packaged as it wrapped/unwrapped
that it became, then, new that it curtained, a surface
what it might have told it told, differently inflected
a national, a regional, what it took, for supplies
and re-supplied that it stocked, a wilderness
a solitary beagle, with howls what it celebrated
when it turned/returned, where its jurisdiction, was touring
had one brought a window, had one looked through it
the final frontier, all filled up, specialized, privatized
what it was saying, what it was trying to say to whom
that hegemony, of a kind, of history that otherwise
faltered, collected that a process ontology, they processed
were Being so many, beings could it speak of freedom
could it not a destiny, not a property, not a dogma
not an argument, not an alternative, not a destruction
what perceived its filter, what filtered that language
could always comply what was systematized/
systematic, what implied that language that its universal/s
regularized, could be, reinvested that its reserve, charted,
a renewable resource, a conservation area, how it was
speaking what it was speaking, its spirit/spiriting
