The F Word: A Compilation Of Feminist Poetry, Chelsea Adams Apr 2017

The F Word: A Compilation Of Feminist Poetry, Chelsea Adams

Honors Projects

This is an interdisciplinary project between creative writing and women’s studies that attempts to showcase different aspects of feminism from the female perspective through poetry. Throughout my poems, there are multiple different voices raising concern and awareness about a variety of subject matters within feminism, such as basic human rights, violence against women, sexuality, current (and possibly future) political moves and motives for feminism, how feminism is perceived by the public, how women are often times viewed by men and this society, and how feminism and feminists are perceived by anti-feminists. Some of these poems come from my own personal …


The Neon Gods We Made, Max Funk Apr 2017

The Neon Gods We Made, Max Funk

Honors Projects

The Neon Gods We Made is a collection of 3 plays and 21 poems. In this collection I explore the concept of religion as an ideology, or as a body of knowledge that has some specific function in society as a whole—while I focus primarily on culture of the United States, there are broader trends in the use of ideology that are applicable to other countries/cultures as well. With this project, I am primarily interested in the links between organized religion, personal spirituality, and the influence of culture on both the more formal and informal aspects of one’s spirituality. Primarily, …


When We Found Us, Christopher Ratcliff Apr 2017

When We Found Us, Christopher Ratcliff

Honors Projects

A collection of pieces which represent a use of magic or mythic themes as applied to real-world experiences through both poetry and fiction work. An examination of the progress of the author through these themes and subjects curated in more-or-less chronological order by time of conception. The brutal mundanity of the rural Midwestern experience mingled alongside the magic-realism and mythic archetypes which span throughout history.

Homesick Hallelujahs, Koltin Scott Thompson Apr 2017

Homesick Hallelujahs, Koltin Scott Thompson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Homesick Hallelujahs explores the complexities of southern life. What begins as a bildungsroman of a young, lower-class Tennessean soon evolves into an exploration of southern culture and values, a journey across what is real and what is hoped-for in the lives of Appalachian southerners, and an exploding of themes that show up along the way. Racial tensions, religion and the lack thereof, the escape from the mundane that literature provides, identity politics, America's deep and divisive history--all of these things come to the forefront as the work progresses beyond "local color" into a realm that is universal and unabashedly American. …


Sweep Up The Sun, Liz Kazandzhy Apr 2017

Sweep Up The Sun, Liz Kazandzhy

Children's Book and Media Review

Sweep Up the Sun combines a brief and beautiful poem by author Helen Frost with the spectacular photography by Rick Lieder. The pictures, all of which capture a moment of a bird’s movement or stillness, take up the majority of each page. On the other hand the text unfolds slowly, nearly line by line, arranged on the pages to work around the photographs. The essence of the poem (presented, of course, with the imagery of a bird’s flight) is going out and explore the world, trying new things and trusting in yourself, and feeling at home whether alone or with …


Have You Seen My New Blue Socks?, Liz Kazandzhy Apr 2017

Have You Seen My New Blue Socks?, Liz Kazandzhy

Children's Book and Media Review

Duck has a problem: he has lost his new blue socks! They’re not in his box, the fox doesn’t know where they might be, but the ox suggests he looks down by the rocks. There he finds socks indeed, unfortunately just not his new blue ones. So he goes to the peacocks to ask for their help, and they help the poor little duck finally find his socks—on his very own feet! Reminiscent of P.D. Eastman’s Are You My Mother? this story follows the main character in his inquisitive journey to solve a simple problem. It’s an intriguing enough storyline …
