Abstract
“The Chart of Some Place” explores grief, loss, loneliness through the lens of poetry. Split into four sections, like different stages of grief, the poems in each section represent different eras of the speakers life. The “Place” that is referred throughout is in reference to a small farming town in Utah. The relationships built throughout a span of three years and an abrupt separation led to reminiscent grief and an abundance of lost love and friendship.
