Poetic Threshold Moments: From Fledgling To Published Author, Carolyn Rickett, Judith Beveridge, Maria T. Northcote, Anthony Williams, David Musgrave
Maria Northcote
This paper presents perspectives from award-winning poets on an initiative where they were involved in publishing with undergraduate students who were completing a creative writing class at a tertiary education institution in NSW, Australia. This initiative provided students with the opportunity to be both taught by and publish with world-class poets. As a culmination of the semester’s class the students also had an opportunity for selected work to be published alongside high profile writers in a collaborative anthology. The recent Wording the World (2010) and Here Not There (2012) poetry anthologies are printed artefacts of this process. While reflecting on …

Females And Footnotes: Excavating The Genre Of Eighteenth-Century Women’S Scholarly Verse, Ruth Knezevich
Females And Footnotes: Excavating The Genre Of Eighteenth-Century Women’S Scholarly Verse, Ruth Knezevich
ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, 1640-1830
Throughout the eighteenth century, the genre of women’s poetry heavily annotated with editorializing commentary (a genre I term “scholarly verse”) became increasingly prevalent. Such poetry presents an ironic reversal of conventions of gender and authority by incorporating the literal margins of the page: the female voice commands the majority of the page, while the masculine voice of empiricism, authority, and scholarly reason is pushed to the margins. This essay offers a distant reading of the range of annotations women poets provided, in order to begin new conversations about the ways women’s poetry served as a site of and structure for …

The Poetry Of John Dewey, Jerry L. Williams
The Poetry Of John Dewey, Jerry L. Williams
Education and Culture
This essay examines the poetry of John Dewey, 101 poems in total. Characteristic of the rhymed and metered poetry of the period, they show a very human side of Dewey. This analysis argues that many of his poems deal with existential themes—love, finitude, and God, for example. On a deeper level these poems are also show connections to Dewey’s philosophy, in particular his ideas about social change and dualism.
The Waiting House, Erika Marie Mueller
The Waiting House, Erika Marie Mueller
Theses and Dissertations
The poems in this collection, The Waiting House, use techniques associated with an evolving elegiac tradition in their portrayal of anticipatory grief born of terminal illness and impending loss. Like the melancholic mourning of modern elegies described by Jahan Ramazani, my poems often resist consolation even as they borrow from elegiac conventions like poetic substitution and repetition. Additionally, they utilize strategies and patterns of literary anger outlined by Alicia Suskin Ostriker as common in postwar American women’s poetry, to express anger that is also anticipatory grief. Finally, this collection uses illness metaphors to question the well being of a larger …

Eastern Flames In The Mind On Fire: A Study Of Eastern And Qur’Anic Influences On Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mohammed Qays Khaleel Alqaisi
MSU Graduate Theses
Ralph Waldo Emerson's interest in the east is evident throughout his essays, poems and lectures. He shows his fascination with the eastern cultures, religions and poetry when he quotes from eastern texts to strengthen his ideas, such as the notion of the Over-Soul, illumination, knowledge and nature. He regards the east as an ignored territory of knowledge that contains invaluable wisdom waiting to be explored by western thinkers. As the world witnesses an increasing gap between the east and the west, Emerson represents the universal way of thinking, as he believes in seeking knowledge in every part of the world …
Understanding Poetry: Integrating Creative Movement And Dance To Enhance The Learning Process For Middle And High School Students, Toni C. Duncan
Understanding Poetry: Integrating Creative Movement And Dance To Enhance The Learning Process For Middle And High School Students, Toni C. Duncan
Capstones & Scholarly Projects
The focus of this thesis project is the integration of creative movement and dance to enhance the learning process for students studying poetry. This project was a descriptive pilot project designed to evaluate a piece of dance curriculum. The researcher posed the following three essential questions: How can creative movement and dance in middle and high school students’ classes be used to enhance their understanding of poetry in terms of its structure? How will creative movement and dance help middle and high school students understand the meaning of poetry? Which creative movement and dance techniques can be used to help …
Six Reflections Through Music And Poetry, Nicholas Shawn Vecchio
Six Reflections Through Music And Poetry, Nicholas Shawn Vecchio
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Since beginning school at the University of Arkansas in 2008 I have learned many lessons both in and outside the classroom. To date, the most challenging lessons have been those that I have learned about myself. The manifestation of the person that I am today has been an adventure with many twists and turns. This piece aims to capture the essence of some of the lessons that I have learned. Each poem offers the product of that lesson.
The movement entitled “Memories” has a subdued joy in its message. The poem offers nostalgia to begin the piece with. However, it …
Minor Transnational Writing In Ireland, Borbála Faragó
Minor Transnational Writing In Ireland, Borbála Faragó
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "Minor Transnational Writing in Ireland" Borbála Faragó investigates the poetic work of some of Ireland's migrant writers through the lens of minor transnationalism. Ireland's peculiar migration history where there are two quite distinct groups of inward migrants, requires careful rethinking of terminology. Faragó proposes to circumnavigate the binary approach of investigating center versus periphery and instead look for lateral connections between marginalized groups. Reading the works of Ireland's internal others brings to the fore issues of authenticity, ethics, and identity that can foreground some of the ambiguities inherent in transnational studies today. Interpreting the oeuvre of these …
If This Heart Had A Mouth: A Forbidden Romance Narrated Through Mimesis: Poems, Julieta V. Corpus
If This Heart Had A Mouth: A Forbidden Romance Narrated Through Mimesis: Poems, Julieta V. Corpus
Theses and Dissertations
If This Heart Had a Mouth consists of forty-two poems where love is the catalyst for a multitude of emotions, ranging from falling in love, to hopelessness, to a begrudging kind of acceptance at losing the beloved to somebody else. To create all forty-two poems, 23 written in Spanish, and 19 poems written in English, I employed the literary device called Mimesis which entails deriving an original poem from someone else's work.
To create each poem, I followed another poet’s original work, line by line. I imitated that poet’s rhythm through their use of meter. I counted the number of …
Ethnicity And Poetry: A Systems Theory Approach To Contemporary African American And Mexican American Poetry, Antonio Paniagua Guzman
Ethnicity And Poetry: A Systems Theory Approach To Contemporary African American And Mexican American Poetry, Antonio Paniagua Guzman
Theses and Dissertations
Given the ongoing ethnic transformation of the current society of the United States, contemporary sociologists have extensively studied ethnic relations from diverse theoretical and methodological approaches. Despite the vast sociological research recently developed, the literary-based methodological approach remains partially uncultivated. This study explores motivations and patterns of minority groups’ ethnic performance in contemporary poetry by analyzing inter and intra-group similarities and differences of diverse linguistic and cultural traits. From secondary data analysis, this study examines four hundred poems authored by forty contemporary African American and Mexican American writers experientially connected to the state of Texas. Grounded in systems theory, this …

Things I Haven't Told You, Kimberly A. Tedrow
Things I Haven't Told You, Kimberly A. Tedrow
Department of English: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Things I Haven’t Told You is a three-part thesis that consists of a critical introduction, a creative sample of ten poems, and an essay on using the work of Percy Bysshe Shelley as a creative prompt.
A critical introduction to the creative sample discusses the contextualization of memory, the observation of the physical world, and the rare metaphysical moments that occur in an ordinary life. The genesis and evolution of the work is explored, as well as the poet's development during the course of graduate study.
The creative sample of ten poems includes poems that articulate the malleable relationship between …
Past, Present, Future: How Time Affects Identity, Keith Maus
Past, Present, Future: How Time Affects Identity, Keith Maus
Capstone Projects and Master's Theses
My project will be the creative option. I decided to use both poetry and short stories. Last semester I took creative writing and it really struck a chord with me. I find it and these tools to be an extremely valuable way to analyze oneself. Each story or poem will focus on my own self-identity and development by looking at my past, at myself today, and myself in the future.

Bright Along The Body, Ashley Michelle Roach
Bright Along The Body, Ashley Michelle Roach
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Bright Along the Body is a collection of poetry that explores the nature of desire within the liminal space of marriage. The poems fuse domestic, garden, and urban wildlife imagery to explore the speaker's conflicting physical, spiritual, and emotional desires. The speaker subverts her own longings by cultivating a psychological space that is beautiful and lonely, representing transcendence that may be read as dissociation. Feminist themes of safety and independence inform the collection, which is sectioned in three parts to represent conflict, interiority, and resolution. The poems are stylistically diverse and music-rich, showing affinity for both contemporary poetry and tradition.

Poetry Is Powerful: High School Students And Pre-Service Teachers Develop Literacy Relationships Through Poetry, Susanne L. Nobles, Amy Price Azano
Teaching/Writing: The Journal of Writing Teacher Education
Teaching poetry can serve as a roadblock for many English teachers who lack confidence with the genre. Likewise, high school students struggle reading poetry and creating their own poetic works. In an effort to provide an authentic learning experience for our students, we created a semester-long, collaborative poetry project between our high school and college students. This manuscript provides details about the goals, processes, and takeaways for both groups of participants. The high school students were two classes of freshman-level English students who practiced developing critical literacy skills while reading, reciting, and writing poetry. The college students were pre-service English …
