Abstract
Fathoming is a mixed-genre collection that uses personal essays, poems, and photographs to interrogate and meditate upon the concepts of home, responsibility to place, climate change and climate grief, focusing on the author's Southwest Florida birthplace. The collection opens with a critical introduction that explores the similarities between the compositional processes of creative nonfiction writing (and of lyric essays in particular) and black and white film photography. Following this critical introduction, the creative collection is separated into 3 sections, each containing essays, poems, and photographs that explore the section's theme. The texts play with form as a way to dialogue about and hold the many perspectives of these concepts as the author grapples with them. The research for this collection spans from personal memory to digitized archival maps to popular and scholarly articles. The poems and essays were written during the author's time as a graduate student at the University of Missouri. The photographs in this collection were taken on 35mm film and developed in the University of Missouri's darkroom.
