Tejada, Roberto J.2018-12-032018-12-03May 20182018-05May 2018http://hdl.handle.net/10657/3599This manuscript of poetry attempts a lucid assault on pure affect, its words a formal effort to contain emotional intensity and energy while allowing no particular narrative to be believed. Characters include a lover and beloved, while through constellations of images the manuscript essays a sense of unity even within its syntactical disruptions; it is the exploration of a fractured psyche, existential, questioning, and intervening against despair.application/pdfengThe author of this work is the copyright owner.
