This dissertation compiles poems written between 1996 and 2004. Most were composed in 2003 and 2004 employing surrealist generative methods such as automatic writing and textual cut-up improvisations. The collection is divided into four main parts: Flow and Flux, Going Back, Crepuscular, and Within. Generally speaking, the first and third sections attempt to present a state of mind or world view, whereas the second and fourth represent, respectively, a backward-looking and a progressive poetics. Overall, the dissertation attempts to give a fair summation of the author's career as a poet. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / Fall Semester, 2004. / August 4, 2004. / Going Back, Flow and Flux, Crepuscular / Includes bibliographical references. / David Kirby, Professor Directing Dissertation; Ernest Rehder, Outside Committee Member; Sheila Ortiz-Taylor, Committee Member; Eugene Crook, Committee Member.
