An Exploration Of Voice And Verse: The Poetry Of Mary Barnard, Molly O'Hara Ewing Dec 1992

An Exploration Of Voice And Verse: The Poetry Of Mary Barnard, Molly O'Hara Ewing

Culminating Projects in English

The poetry of Mary Barnard has been largely ignored by scholarly and literary society since she began writing in the 1920's. This is due in part to her variety of subjects, themes, and forms, as well as to her relatively small output. Nevertheless, it comprises an important contribution to the development of American poetry in the twentieth century, a fact which has been acknowledged by her peers such as Ezra Pound, Marianne Moore, William Stafford, and Sam Hamill. This study of her poetic development identifies and examines several important aspects of and influences on Barnard's verse in order to assess …

The Poetics Of Open And Closed Forms, Tyrone Williams Feb 1992

The Poetics Of Open And Closed Forms, Tyrone Williams

Wayne State University Dissertations

This dissertation is an investigation into the "origins" and developments of the concepts of open and closed forms in American poetics and poetry. After a brief overview of the form these concepts take in the poetics of Walt Whitman and William Wordsworth, I trace the development of these concepts through the critical work of Charles Olson, Barbara Herrnstein-Smith, Joseph Frank and William Spanos.

Inside The American Stratification System: Imageries From The Black Writers, Clinton M. Jean Jan 1992

The paper addresses several questions. If social science, as a matter of scientific principle, must choose to avoid ethical conclusions, do black novelists, poets, and essayists help fill the ethical void? But then, are they objective enough?
