Abstract: This thesis is concentrated around a speaker coping with hostile and volatile relationships both internal and external. The primary tension exists between the mentally-ill speaker and her fragmented memories, emotions, sensory experiences, and personalities. The poems in this collection rely on the coastal landscapes of the Canadian North Atlantic to visualise and give texture to the speaker’s experiences and emotions. Other subjects, including grief, romantic loss and miscarriage, sexual trauma, self-harm and suicidal ideation, and an encompassing sense of isolation will colour the reader’s perspective of the speaker’s narrative.
