Beat The Church Crowd, Evelyn Alston Tyer

Honors Theses

Beat the Church Crowd is a collection of poems that explores a variety of topics and themes, from personal family legacy and natural disasters to bestiary, ekphrastic, and southern locale poems. It is divided into four sections: “Blue Danube,” “Anecdotes,” “Urban Legends,” and “Something Worth Protecting.” While the subject matter and forms of the poems vary, the common thread weaving each poem to the next is the slight touch of the macabre.

Self, Emily Aguayo

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This is a translation of Dr. Erika Almenara’s complete published collection of poetry. The original publications span a period of over twelve years of work, with books published in 2006, 2008, and 2018. The first book of poetry in this series of translations, Reino Cerrado (Closed Kingdom), explores the profound contemplations of life and how to turn those thoughts into words and put them on paper. We see images of nature, hear faint religious overtones, and feel the distress of a woman searching for a healthy relationship, and having little luck. Para evitar los rastros (To Avoid All Traces), the …

Growth Theory, Samantha Leon

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

GROWTH THEORY reckons with a natural world in distress and imagines what attributes and learnings are needed for the individual to become a more beneficial part of the natural world. What does a person’s interaction with their surroundings say about them, and say about the surroundings? Violence, art, relationships, community are all examined along with the mediums through which we record our reality: speaking, writing, singing, taking photos. Despite covering a breadth of physical places and topics, a central tension that takes place between fear and curiosity colors the manuscript throughout. Poems are ordered by subject or temporal consideration, but …

The Power Of Rainbow Identities, Rosemary Jones

The Peregrine Review

A homemade photo album served as one of my first books. Within it, the story of my adoption, always recounted to me sitting on my mother’s or my father’s lap. This is you, all the way in China! And this is Mommy and Daddy and your older sister at the airport— we had to fly fourteen hours to go and get you and bring you home! I don’t think many kids have the privilege to say that one of the first stories their parents ever told them was their own. I suppose I should have felt special and empowered. But, …

Snow In April, Ellen Diehl

The Peregrine Review

how often does your heart push away

the very human impulse of sorrow?

a flurry of the unexpected

makes us numb

when the peppery cold that lies softly on our hearts

stings far more for its imperceptibility

than for its gentle defiance of what cannot be controlled

it is easier to lie down and collect the dust

of what once moved freely in joyous waves across the shoreline

than to brush off the cold

Prose that begins:

It was always a quick turnaround. The Army has a funny habit of doing that (though my mother would disagree on the choice of adjective here). We’d stay in one place for a few years, usually no more than two, and then the Army would ship my dad off to his next duty station. We always went with him. Since I was born in Monterey Bay, California, my family had moved three times: first to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas (two years), then Fort Hood, Texas (three years, where my brother was born, the longest time we’d ever lived …
