Poets Don't Ride Motorcycles, Andrew G. Tully
Poets Don't Ride Motorcycles, Andrew G. Tully
Department of English: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
This is a collection of poems that focus more on minutia and happenstance than larger universal themes. Using free-form lines and stanzas, spare construction, and dark yet powerful imagery, these poems remind readers of the meaningful emotional impact everyday items and interactions can have. The extraordinary and unusual are important too, and form a stark contrast to the poems about the mundane. These poems are not meant to be a final collection, but are a solid base for a book-length manuscript that will expand on the themes, images, and stories contained in this thesis.
