In this thesis, I explore the ideas on exoticism and foreignhood in form of poetry. These ideas and the impulse to produce this collection of poems derive from my experience in the United States as a foreigner, the literary and philosophical texts I have read regarding the idea of foreign, and most importantly, the conversations I had with my peers and mentors. These poems are not in traditional poetic form, for the nature of foreign is impossible to contain; there are constant intrusions of various voices: voice of standard English, sometimes manifested as an entity called 'Spellcheck machine'; voice of coy foreigner; voice of mimicry; voice of Death drive; voice of seductress; voice of unidentifiable Machines in these poems, which I seemingly have failed to contain in the form of a Singular Project with a sense of coherency; writing a Project poetry, a collection of poems with coherence, with a definite sense of singular motive, a driving force of certainty is impossible for a foreigner. Thus I call this Foreigner's Folly: A Tale of Attempted Project.
