Needle To The Eye, Angus Mclinn
English Honors Projects
Needle to the Eye is a collection of short stories that take place in the skeletal forests, dying small towns, and rural wastelands of the upper Midwest. The collection stares down the monstrous, absurd, magical, and above all uncomfortable aspects of the region right up until the point of contact and beyond, examining the character of those who dwell on the fringes of America's geographic center. Drunken funeral singers, a NTSB crash investigator, violent criminals, a disgraced beauty queen, and others cast adrift in the sprawling Great Plains and North Woods battle for salvation, acceptance, and dignity in these haunting …

Bindweed And Fire, Joshua Lee Davis
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Bindweed and Fire is a collection of poems in three sections. The first two sections, Drought and Watermarks, contain short metrical lyrics built around images of fire and water. Sabbath, the third section is a long free-verse poetic sequence in three voices. In ekphrastic poems rich with private symbolism, the first voice attempts to refract through the prism of visual art the relationship between a father and son. Providing a counterpoint to the first, the second voice seeks to qualify, correct, and comment on the private symbolism. The third voice tries to give a wider view of the everyday lives …

Renovations And Other Stories, Amanda Rene Lager
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Renovations and Other Stories is a linked collection of ten fiction stories that examines the ways by which women renew or restore themselves. The collection is set in the imaginary city of St. Clair, South Carolina, a town balancing historical accuracy with the sensational tourist industry; Carolinians who trace their ancestries back to the American Revolution with suburban newcomers; and the notion of cherishing the past with moving forward. Many of the characters struggle with identity, whether it is regional or feminine individuality. The protagonists must challenge self-image when faced with situations that make them reconsider their places in their …

My thesis, Escape Artist, is a composite novel written as a fictitious memoir, similar in style to Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, that describes my experiences between the years 2001 and 2011. During that time I went through Marine Corps Boot Camp, became a military police officer, patrolled Yuma, AZ, was sent to Iraq for a sevenmonth tour as a security detail just before the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and made it back home four years later. The novel also looks into my struggles with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms, how they affected the people around me, and what …
