Abstract
One of the big uniting spirits of the collection is the idea of preservation, whether it be preserving honor, youth, or self-preservation. This idea of protecting something stems from my own future worries as well as observing those around me. It's no secret that people fear aging or change, and it's only natural to want to conserve as much as possible. Another major concept used in the poems is death. Whether it be confronting one's own mortality, witnessing death, or finding decay. During the time I was writing my SIP, I spent a considerable amount of time watching true crime documentaries. Hearing about the horrors of what other people could do to another. Another moment that inspired this fascination with death was when I worked on my first cadaver. The smell of decay, the feeling of grey skin, the empty cavity after I took their organs out. It's something that doesn't leave you. Lastly, the final piece connecting my poems together stems from depression.
