Abstract

ABSTRACT: "Bridge to the Spirit World" is a poem based on my first undergraduate research experience performing archival and oral history research with the LGBTQ History of Monterey County Archiving Project. Through this work, I look to unify my identities as both poet and researcher, as I retell and reflect on the impact engaging with queer ancestors and elders had on my understanding of self and personal relationship to research.
