Physical Collections and Access · Access and FulfillmentAbout me
I am the Offsite Shelving & Withdrawals Assistant stationed at the Buhr Shelving Facility and Hatcher Graduate Library. My position entails maintaining the circulation of materials between our offsite repositories & U-M community, and the outflow of withdrawn items from the shelves. I work closely with the Physical Collections & Access Supervisors — as well as both Offsite Shelving and Withdrawals Assistants — to execute strategic movements of the collections. I also serve on various committees in the library, where I create opportunities for staff connections and research & creative projects.
My forthcoming poetic exploration is titled The cosmic fragments. This erasure meditation in verse emerges from an ongoing encounter with fragmentation — not only as a poetic practice, but as a condition of the world. Across each piece, language is removed, obscured, and reconfigured to ask what persists when dominant narratives are quieted, and what kinds of reading become possible when the given text is no longer treated as complete. Working within the extant philosophical fragments of Heraclitus, meaning emerges not through accumulation, but through subtraction — something encountered in tension, recurrence, and transformation. What remains is partial, porous, and unresolved: a field of fragments that invites reflection, relation, and ongoing encounter.
