Desert, Desert

Debut poetry collection by Eric Larsh. The work is focused on the Mojave desert, its history and works to trace human development and displacement of peoples and animals. This is explored through the inclusion of bureaucratic and reportage language juxtaposed and blended with the "poetic" voice of the work. Its form is also meant to mimic and trace the sporadic pockets of life that exist within the desert itself, the white space and text a physical manifestation of the ideas contained within it. This is the beginning of an ongoing longer work that will continue to explore and work to exhaust all avenues of exploration of the desert, physical, spiritual, existential, etc. across multiple books.
