Abstract
  • Shrapnel is an exploration through memory. It’s a work that bends and twists upon itself and, as memory often does, lands within worlds and experiences only for a moment before jumping to the next story or thought. This text is a hybrid work that doesn’t fit neatly within any specific genre confines: it’s too poetic to be categorized as traditional narrative but also too story- driven to be categorized as poetry. When you read Shrapnel you’ll discover worlds that—for better or worse—have been home to me throughout my life. In this work I address the associative way that memory often operates. I write of my military experiences in Afghanistan as well as my interactions with my drug-addled and alcohol-ridden family members. It’s not a pretty work, it can be quite dark at times. But it’s me: exposed. It’s my life: in whatever pieces that it exists. All these scattered bits.
