Fault Tree

fault tree is a book-length poem divided into three connected effects stemming from one undesired state: time. This text poses time as a governing body overthrown by a simple mental repositioning only inescapable because so few have tried to escape. Using interrupted narrative and a deceptively simple diction, the poem follows one character through his quest to wrangle time and prove his own sanity as well as time s true nature. Through his relating to time, questions of place, class, politics, and culture are cast as the inextricable results of time s manipulation.
