Visions of Mary is a collection of poems which document, remember, and imagine scenes in visual art and the Carolina landscape. This collection studies the intersections of womanhood, girlhood, and the natural world through close observations of the environment, as well as Artemisia Gentileschi’s baroque paintings. The collection also includes several documentary poems inspired by Salem College and Academy in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Field research on these campuses influenced poems that meditate on boundaries between the living and the non-living, the past and present within nature. These poems focus on feminine bodies within the confines of canvases, the environment, and sociocultural structures across history. The collection includes a multitude of poetic forms like ekphrasis, elegies, epistolary poetry, lyric poetry, and documentary poems. Visions of Mary examines themes of both danger and liberation for the feminine through time and nature.
