Abstract

Mammoth is a lyric-narrative of hybrid writing that consists of three years of creative and critical research. It is the poetry of collapse, where phenomena folds into memory and skin and vise versa. The text accepts and challenges concepts of separation though maximalism, minimalism and sound as well as narrative, abstract content and structure that oscillates through experimental and referential language. It is a manuscript without a map. Where the reader learns how to navigate as the text examines places and concepts of ecological crisis in relationship the California water crisis and other landscapes of addiction. Mammoth explores personal, abstract and physical loss as an intimate and critical conversation into the possibilities of loss as a shifting paradigm that gestures beyond of binary patterns of reduction.
