Pressure System is a collection of poems structured around paradox, physical process, and constraint. Each poem is built from opposing conditions and a liminal formal state, forming a system under tension rather than a narrative or metaphor. Drawing on ecological, geological, and scientific phenomena, the work treats language as a material surface shaped by pressure, compression, and failure. The collection is organized as both a poetic work and a procedural framework, making it suitable for individual reading as well as classroom use in contemporary poetry and creative writing contexts.
