Abstract
<i>Undraining Sea</i> engages with ideas of time and of the city, the built and the unbuilt. The first section takes the form of a calendar and interrogates the human experience of time. It engages with a number of other texts, notably by Hesiod. The second section interrogates the human experience of place, via immersive poems inspired by the layered recollection of places (Oslo, Port of Spain, Florence, London). This section engages with William Carlos Williams's _Paterson_. The final section obliquely offers a resolution by way of personal lyric and song; a lightening of memory and experience into transmissible, aesthetic form.
