Too Cool, Lillian Margaret Cary
Too Cool, Lillian Margaret Cary
Stonecoast MFA Theses and Capstones
Too Cool is a collection of short stories and essays concerning a young woman’s experiences with relationships, and how they help shape the world around her. The body, foregrounded as metaphor, is threaded throughout each story and essay in the collection in the hopes that all readers will relate to the sometimes un-relatable. Both in fiction and non-fiction, these pieces explore heartbreak, friendship and the human need for connection. The stories and essays are written in a minimalist style to emphasize that what is written is just as important as the information that has been left out, and their themes …

The Eternal Waters, Heather Meeks
The Eternal Waters, Heather Meeks
Stonecoast MFA Theses and Capstones
This creative thesis is from the first book of a planned trilogy. It is the beginning third of a young adult, dark fantasy novel about a secondary, drowning world. Merfolk and humans have been at conflict for centuries over territory and resources. When an angry ocean goddess wakes after a thousand years of slumber, both societies are threatened. The races are forced to work together to solve their environmental and fantastical perils.
We see the island and water worlds though an alternating point of view. The two male point of view characters, one human and the other merfolk, become attracted …
Time Away, Loren Hart Francis
Time Away, Loren Hart Francis
Stonecoast MFA Theses and Capstones
Loren Francis planted himself squarely into his life in 2008, and looked around from there, trying to remember what the view was like from then: a time of building, music, creativity and expansiveness followed by an accident, panic attacks, and the deep rout of alcohol and drug addiction. He picks up the threads, tugging on them and letting them take him where they would back through his family tree to his Irish farmer grandparents on his mother’s side, and his British and Lebanese grandparents on his father’s. Music, addiction, family and entrepreneurism all play a salient part in his life …

- An aging salesman gets replacement internal organs and becomes an opera singer
- A female presidential candidate must keep a straight face while watching a ridiculous PSA
- A sniggler (eel-catcher) …
