Abstract/Summary

A creative writing thesis in poetry that wishes to question domesticity with the myth of the first marriage and the architecture of the home in all its variations. The poems are devoted to meaning the way it is created, the agents of its creation, and the casualties in its wake. The devotion comes in the mode of confessional poetry where the personae bare their circumstance in an effort to displace the system of meanings beneath it. This thesis includes an exegetic essay on confessional poetry and the writing process, and the collection which consists of 33 poems, cleaved between the re-imagined voices of Adam and Eve, and the confessional speaker on architecture between each. Inspired by Louise Gluck's The Wild Iris, this collection aims to bring insight and no less.
