Petitioner-Plaintiffs are three individuals held at Allegheny County Jail (“ACJ”) who have a serious pre-existing medical condition which the United States Centers for Disease Control has determined puts them at significantly higher risk of severe disease and death if they contract COVID-19. They claim that the conditions of confinement now existing at ACJ create a heightened and unreasonable risk of contracting COVID-19 for any person confined at the jail and a substantial risk of severe illness or death for those who are elderly and/or medically vulnerable to COVID-19. They bring this class action claim seeking immediate release of all individuals 55 and older and those with medical conditions that place them at heightened risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19, which would both remove these individuals from a life threatening situation at the jail and permit social distancing measures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and other public health officials to be implemented for those remaining at the jail.

Land Smith 2021 MELS ii Abstract Sina Queyras, in the essay “Lyric Conceptualism: A Manifesto in Progress,” describes the Lyric Conceptualist as a poet capable of recognizing the effects of disparate movements and employing a variety of lyric, conceptual, and language poetry techniques to continue to innovate in poetry without dismissing the work of other schools of poetic thought. Queyras sees the lyric conceptualist as an artistic curator who collects, modifies, selects, synthesizes, and adapts, to create verse that is both conceptual and accessible, using relevant materials and techniques from the past and present. This dissertation responds to Queyras’s idea with a collection of original poems in the lyric conceptualist mode, supported by a critical exegesis of that work.
