Memoric Form: Poem As Memory, Lawrence V. Eby
Memoric Form: Poem As Memory, Lawrence V. Eby
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
Machinist in the Snow is a narrative long poem, much like a novel in verse that deals with the loss of memory and environmental rebirth. In the book, the narrator exiles himself into a frozen nature and attempts to return the frozen wasteland into its former, flourishing environment. The poems take on the memoric form of memory in a wide range of poetic forms from the traditional sonnet, haiku, or villanelle, to a scattered projective verse. In the center of these poems is an attempt to mimic the mind in the way that it shifts, in its moments of clarity, …

In Pursuit Of Distant Horizons, Whitney Polich
In Pursuit Of Distant Horizons, Whitney Polich

Painting And Stuff, Lol, Sopearb Touch
Graduate School of Art Theses
Our own human experience is a distinct realm which can never be precisely duplicated in another lifetime. It frames our whole view of existence and, as artists, affects our art making process. The theory of the Tabula Rasa functions as the inspiration of my work and this writing examines my personal view of growing up in the internet age and America, and how my view of life, as well as artistic practice, is shaped by a consumerist culture that has gone global. Additionally, as a figurative painter, I create a context with other artists who create work about their own …
