Abstract
I Came to the Glass Hut and Lived is a collection of poetry that documents the intergenerational aftermath of one family’s experience with genocide and displacement. Form-driven poems capturing transcripts from a 1998 interview with the speaker’s grandmother form the narrative spine of this inquiry. Driven by images, uninhabited rural landscapes, news coverage, and UFOs, this collection follows a speaker witnessing a world haunted by its repeating history.
