Abstract
Arkansas Psalm is a written hymn to a home state, along with the changeling experience of moving out of childhood. Combining fallible and polyphonic memory with deeply embodied image, the work reaches to address adoptee themes with observation of a place and its inhabitants. Through the eyes of Daughter, Arkansas becomes its own narrator, harboring the human and non-human lives that animate it.
