Abstract
Poetry Collection -- AFTERNOON, AFTERNOON is a book about cycles. The central metaphor is a broken day-cycle, in which afternoon is followed not by night but by noon after noon. The book attempts to explore the fallout from undifferentiated repetition—of ecology, of interiority, of lineage, enriched by the metaphor of an unending day. The effects of a broken cycle depend on whether that cycle is a harmful or replenishing one. They can be directly opposed even while their shapes continue to rhyme.
