Cascade is a manuscript of poems focusing on origins, departures, breakage, and water. A cascade is a small waterfall, typically one of several, that breaks and splits in stages over a rocky slope. It also denotes knowledge successively being passed on. It is the intention of this manuscript to mimic the nature of a cascade through the various splits present in the poems. Whether it is the speaker breaking from homes during their travels across the United States and abroad as they attempt to carry their past with them, the speaker’s body breaking in a car accident, the speaker splitting with love, or the speaker trying to reconcile with the nature of how to preserve their Irish heritage. As is the nature of a waterfall, the manuscript continues carrying these themes along the speakers journey until, at the end, they eventually rejoin to become whole. |
