Blake And The Child, Sally Forsythe 2015 Butler University

Blake And The Child, Sally Forsythe

Manuscripts

In "The Lamb" from Songs of Innocence, William Blake captured the sensitive imaginativeness, the knowledge and the awareness of childhood in a filigree of delicate language, verse form, and understanding. He lifted the veil of childhood and revealed that period of life in which imagination, not yet restricted, gives the child a pure understanding of God an his relations to Him and the the world about him...

The Jungle Down The Street, The Town Across The Bridge, All Is Very Well, Taylor B. Tyson 2015 Georgia Southern University

The Jungle Down The Street, The Town Across The Bridge, All Is Very Well, Taylor B. Tyson

Honors College Theses

The Jungle Down the Street, the Town Across the Bridge, All is Very Well is a series of short, nonfiction essays attempting to paint several portraits—regional, ecological, familial, and personal. Focused around the town of Apalachicola, Florida, it addresses themes of family, folklore, tragedy, and the “New Sublime,” or the feeling of wonder at the beauty that precedes an inevitable end. The piece attempts to blend multiple narrative and thematic arcs through the use of humor, anecdote, and historical research.

The Little Magazine In Contemporary America, Joanne Joanne Diaz, Eds., Ian Morris, Eds. 2015 Illinois Wesleyan University

The Little Magazine In Contemporary America, Joanne Joanne Diaz, Eds., Ian Morris, Eds.

IWU Authors Bookshelf

Little magazines have often showcased the best new writing in America. Historically, these idiosyncratic, small-circulation outlets have served the dual functions of representing the avant-garde of literary expression while also helping many emerging writers become established authors. Although changing technology and the increasingly harsh financial realities of publishing over the past three decades would seem to have pushed little magazines to the brink of extinction, their story is far more complicated. In this collection, Ian Morris and Joanne Diaz gather the reflections of twenty-three prominent editors whose little magazines have flourished over the past thirty-five years. Highlighting the creativity and …

The Last Ice Cube, Robert Courtney 2015 Butler University

The Last Ice Cube, Robert Courtney

Manuscripts

In the very darkest corner, behind the davenport, there sat a little ice cube. Tears were dripping slowly, monotonously, hopelessly from its block-shaped face. The eerie moonlight peeped around the deserted room and revealed the most pitiful expression one could ever witness en the face of an ice cube. And the reason? The little ice cube was dying. Some careless reveler had flipped it out of a glass in one horrifying fling, and there it lay, in a state of inertia, awaiting the hideous death of an ice cube. Slowly, atom by atom, it was disappearing.
