Abstract
Estuary is a braided collection of poetry and personal essay that uses re-established fragments from a range of the author's own works and the motif of water as primary forms of exploring social performance and relationality. The collection represents a journey that takes the reader from the mouth of a river where brackish water swims inward to the pith, or center, of the being. Initially conceptualized from performance art collaborations between poets and dancers, it asks the reader to examine their relationship to connection, the other, and the earth; where does one thing finish and the other begin?
