Abstract

To Sing of Mountains is a collection of lyric poetry that consists of twenty-six free verse poems and one ghazal. The poems call upon the ancient mountains as witnesses to civilizations of past and present, using them to trace the cycles of cultural and geographic change that occur throughout the ages. This collection weaves itself among the histories of empire and ceremony, examining what has changed and what has stayed the same in an attempt to reflect on war, migration, land ownership, climate change, power, and the lives of women. Some of the poems draw upon mysticism and the chaos of time; others mimic the mountains and shifting tectonic plates by use of shape and form; all serve as meditations on life and living.
