| Abstract |
Pink Cloud Symposium is a creative thesis examining the author's experiences with alcoholism, recovery, sobriety, and the nature of complex familial relationships within and around active addiction. As a work of hybrid poetic memoir, this thesis connects the disorienting experience of alcoholism with the reconstruction of one's life while in recovery by intertwining flash creative nonfiction and lyric poetry throughout the project. Alongside autobiographical poems and essays, this project discusses the ways in which crafting with multiple genres can mirror the many varied stages one might undergo while on the continuing process of addiction recovery. |
