The text focuses on the characters ability to dream a new world into reality, pulling from the traditions of several ancient creation myths (Welsh, Norse, Greek, and Roman, among others) as well as the tactics of visual and literary Magical Realism. These poems are carefully focused on the dream-space as "real," in the sense of Slavoj Žižek's philosophy of the real, rather than dreams as an interpretive space (Freud, Lacan). born digital masters theses English eng Colorado State University.
