Abstract
This work covers a ten-year period, 1996 to 2006, finding the news and details of two and more lives together deriving from the planetary being involved in circumscribed localities--who prove so intimate with others as to seem suspicious. The work’s treatment, often explosions, of form, paints pictures while engaging in dialogue with itself. The work looks to its own performances in order to explore myth’s formation, potency, and reason for being. It examines the case for the lyric as a durable narrative form, inquiring into the actual and perceived histories of a locally embodied national psyche. It recovers various artifacts from recent history left behind which, upon resurfacing, are recognizable by their alterations. It embraces subjectivity, error, and frailty as operative ecological and social principals, arriving at readings of lives and texts transcending humanistic prejudices and presumptions.
