Abstract
“Permissions” is the final full-length poetry manuscript curated from a body of work produced during an undergraduate degree. The composition of the final draft began with a close reading and transcription of over 10 notebooks of content, which then became a 300-page draft, and finally a 50-page manuscript. The final project also includes a poster that provides insight into the curatorial process, including the collection’s inspirations, organizational principles, and guiding questions, as well as a sample poem from the final work. “Permissions” ultimately seeks to understand the bridges beyond individual poems, and the broader framework that contributes to a satisfying reading experience.
