Literature Social Research Regional Studies Detroit Rust Belt Midwest Michigan poetry regional studies urban studies This collection of poems focuses on exploring the contemporary Rust Belt city and its likeness to the archetypal post-apocalyptic city. Specifically, the poems focus on Detroit as well as the relationship between person and place or space. Through this relationship, Detroit itself is exposed and dissected, shedding light on multiple social issues specific to the city proper. Newspapers were used in the creation of these poems as material for found text, and maps were used both as templates for exploring a text and as unique containers of text for pieces exploring the process of navigation. Through these methods, the reader is able to explore Detroit and various commonalities of a typical Rust Belt city in an array of ways. 2013-08-14 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1375874726 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1375874726 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
