Chaos Embodied / She is Vibration

Description of Capstone Project

Chaos EmBodied / She Is Vibration: A Poetry Anthology is a project dedicated to exploring the performative nature of identity and how our everyday rituals affect and interact with each other. As someone who has taken a vast amount of interest in the performance of everyday life, my goal is to explore and encapsulate how our bodies negotiate space, identity, and culture. Poetry is a means of embodying motion and variation on paper. Much like how every person determines their hair, walk, or vocal cadence, each space, period, and line within a poem break is meant to represent a small part of the whole. This essay is going to explain my experience writing this anthology and the way different Performance Studies texts informed my poetry, its form, and in turn, myself.
