    Abstract
    Welcome to Deadhorse features poems that are narrative and lyrical in nature and represent an aesthetic in which the land is an undeniable force, generally inseparable from the lives of characters involved. The sequence of the poems creates a narrative arc that follows the journey of a man running from a broken-down Dakota farm. Lured by myths of the north, and haunted by ghosts, he travels to Alaska and finds that everything he hoped he'd left behind has come along with him: isolation, alcoholism, a traumatic past. The narrator eventually comes full-circle, returning to a home he never really left behind.
