Presentation #1 Title
Presentation #1 Abstract or Summary
My first poem, “Night Falls on the Mountain,” is included in the section, “Recount.” As Cory notes, recounting an experience is a means of connecting readers to a special place.
My second poem, “February Springtime in the Mountains,” appears in the section, “Evolve.” In this poem, focusing on nature’s evolution, the “signs of seasonal transformation,” as Cory notes (10), leads to reflections on inward change.
My final poem, “Appalachian Spring,” arose from my photography practice. Cory includes it in the section, “Celebrate,” observing that “reasons to celebrate are perhaps not always easy to identify"
PERFORMANCE: "Readings from Mountains Piled upon Mountains"
