Interrupted Geographies

Interrupted Geographies is about transient communities and places, with poems that both inform and move the reader. The bulk of the collection explores the history of Pithole, a "boom" oil town of western Pennsylvania that gives voice to the hopes and fears of those who traveled there seeking wealth, only to disband the town after less than a year. The theme of dreams followed and left unrealized, a riff on the American Dream, permeates the collection.
