The Watchmaker Series, Christopher Michael Seelie
The Watchmaker Series, Christopher Michael Seelie
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
The Watchmaker Series celebrates and inquires into time as a biproduct of consciousness and practices the application of this notion in poetry. The series begins with the numeral poems, all of which relate directly to the theoretical and polemical aspects. Along the way, other poems with individual titles are interspersed to reflect or redirect the abstract considerations to more concrete subjects. Gradually, as the series progresses, the interacting and recurring associations meld theory and practice into a compositional whole.
The central notion that contemporary poetry is not a machine made of words but rather, like the watch that gives itself …
The Political Properties: Pro- And Anti-Augustan Readings Of Propertius Book Four, Matthew Angelosanto
The Political Properties: Pro- And Anti-Augustan Readings Of Propertius Book Four, Matthew Angelosanto
Honors Theses
Propertius was a Roman elegist writing during the early years of Augustus’ reign as emperor. His fourth and final book of elegies has long confounded scholars due to its drastic shift in subject matter from love elegy to aetiology. So, too, did the poet’s political stance seem to change: vehemently anti-Augustus in his earlier books, a number of poems in his fourth seem to extol both the sociopolitical climate of Augustan Rome as well as the emperor himself. But should we take the poet’s words at face value? In light of his inexplicable change in political allegiance, this thesis examines …
Ordinary Explorations, Amelia M. Endo
Ordinary Explorations, Amelia M. Endo
Honors Theses
In her poem “Poetry” Marianne Moore gracefully states the physical reactions people experience as a result of reading poetry, such as eyes dilating and hair rising. Moore asserts, “these things are important not because a/ high‐sounding interpretation can be put upon them but because/ they are/ useful”. For this reason, I not only read but also create poetry. I wrote this collection of poems intending to trigger reactions from my readers that would be “useful” to them. I decided that the most tactful way to do so was to write about my own personal experiences. Inspired by notable poets such …

Chaucer's The Parlement Of Fowls And The Rejection Of The French Tradition, Patrick V. Day
Chaucer's The Parlement Of Fowls And The Rejection Of The French Tradition, Patrick V. Day
Theses & Honors Papers
This thesis examines Geoffrey Chaucer’s pioneering work as a distinctly English poet who wrote against the grain of French literary influence in the Middle Ages. Analyzing works such as The Parlement of Fowls and The Canterbury Tales, this thesis marks Chaucer as an English original, writing on everything from love and class to literature and politics. Furthermore, it argues Chaucer’s influence in making Britain into a more mature nation distinct from mainland Europe, and discusses how The Parlement of Fowls prepared Chaucer for his future writing.

Grunt Of Beauty Poems, Erienne Rojas
My Endless Compliance, Kate Lutzner
Trick Rider, Jen Tynes
Trick Rider, Jen Tynes
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Trick Rider is a book-length poem in four sections, which uses characteristics of the epic and gothic, as well as strategies of chance operations, to explore the compositional process in relation to time, how time is experienced during the writing process and is communicated through the text as an object and through the process of reading. The polyphonic speaker of Trick Rider is a stunt double and experiences doubling, being both representative of and an outsider to the community she channels; this tension is simultaneously cause and effect of the text.
The Principle Of Flickering, Laura K. Donnelly
The Principle Of Flickering, Laura K. Donnelly
Dissertations
The Principle of Flickering is a collection of poems that map our endeavors to survive and make sense of the flux of the world. The title poem introduces the reader to the ways the collection will approach this survival - through the poem's movement into and out of the frames of other art forms, its process of filtering a collage of voices, and its attempts to momentarily apprehend and still sources of internal and external chaos. Subsequent poems continue this engagement with survival in a variety of ways, including a lyrical study of the evolution of finches ("Darwin's Finches"), a …
Not Growin' Up: Poetry For Children, Lindsay Chastain
Not Growin' Up: Poetry For Children, Lindsay Chastain
Honors Theses
If adults are the prime reviewers of children's poetry, then children may not give the poetry a good review. After writing my own children 's poetry and having it read by Dr. Johnny Wink, I put it to the test of Gifted and Talented fourth-graders. These bright students gave me feedback on my poetry and told me where to improve. At the completion of this project, I submitted a collection of my works to two children's book publishers for review.
