Storage Shed

Storage Shed asks the reader to think of shedding an unsteady self while also considering a shed, a small barn in suburbia: The theme of the fragmented self is present. The poems remain an attempt to slow the reader down, pulling the reader out of the humdrum world of platitude and cliche of everyday language imbued with cynicism. Each contains cascading effect of little epiphanies. From beginning to end the poems provide a world of thought while engaging in play as a child to expose relativism and contemporary cynicism and foster vision for tomorrow. Schiller's play drive may best describe the style: 'It is union of the unconscious and reflection that makes the poetic artist.' Meta-modernism may best describe its heart.
