A series of interconnected poems and lyric essays exploring themes of place, perception, and performance. The pieces in this thesis explore, through the lenses of phenomenology and feminist theory, the question of shifting identities and perspectives and whether it is possible or desirable to unite these into a coherent narrative or sense of self. The role of landscape and geography, as well as art and images, in shaping identity, is also addressed. These pieces attempt to enact and embody the fragmentation and partiality that is their subject through the combination of poetry with lyric essays containing nonlinear narratives and juxtaposition of short, intentionally disjointed sections.
