Portrait Lands delves into grief's incredible acceleratory effect on personal transformation. The throughline of the work asks the question, "What happens to our internal landscape as our emotions and identities evolve within us?" Through close observation of the landscape that surrounds us, these poems suggest their mirror image within us and track the stream of a life as it begins to cut a canyon.
