Abstract

This discourse consists of two components, a creative section and a theoretical section. The creative component consists of 50 poems that are themselves broken into three sections. The poems explore the nature of place, home and rootlessness and how these features compose and distort memory. A key feature is maps, and the symbology of maps. The foundation for each section is: poems written early in the PhD, poems written later in the PhD, and poems that explore the nature of poetic form. The theoretical framework is broken into two components: the theoretical framework itself which explores the nature of image, symbol and metaphor in modern British poetry using other poetry for comparison and an analytic response which explores my own creative process and how the theory considered has affected that creative process.
