Abstract Details

2022, Bachelor of Arts (BA), Ohio University, English.
I argue that writing in the style of a “pillow book”--a collection of fragmented poetry and nonlinear narratives--allows for a different conception of self that avoids the pitfalls of humanist ideas that represent trauma as being able to heal through narrative. My collection, A Gallery, demonstrates the power and potential of this form’s fragmentation by relaying trauma as it manifests in the individual’s subjective memory.
