On Navigating Life As A Deceased Lutheran Pastor’S Daughter, Kathy Roberts May 2015

On Navigating Life As A Deceased Lutheran Pastor’S Daughter, Kathy Roberts

Creative Writing Minor Portfolios

This portfolio is a collection of my favorite original pieces of creative nonfiction and poetry which I wrote during my undergraduate studies at Cedarville University. “My Uncle: Handyman Who Never Left” was published in the June 2014 edition of Spittoon, and “Hiking the Grand Tetons. Milking a Cow by Hand.” has been accepted for publication in Creative Nonfiction. This collection expresses pain from my dad’s death and circumstances that followed it, instances of healing, and aspects of life both before and since. I present to you On Navigating Life as a Deceased Lutheran Pastor’s Daughter.

The nonfiction shorts “Scar Tissue,” “Sunday 26 January 2014,” and “Malibu Beach: Camp Lot 29” have all been published in the Marco Polo Arts Magazine.

A Queer Poet In A Queer Time: John Milton And Homosexuality, Adam J. Wagner Apr 2015

A Queer Poet In A Queer Time: John Milton And Homosexuality, Adam J. Wagner

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Scholar David Hawkes refers to John Milton as a “Hero of Our Time.” Milton’s written works, including his poetry and political treatises, contain cultural and theological insight applicable not only to his 17th Century English culture, but 21st Century American culture as well. As homosexuality continues to enter the public sphere in Western society, many scholars are uncovering past insights about how sexuality has evolved. Milton’s literary texts provide insight into his own sexual orientation and how people viewed human sexuality post-English Renaissance. Homosexuality is a broad topic, but Milton’s works give insight into three main areas—homosexual sex, sexual orientation, …
