Saint Venus (With Critical Introduction), Allegra Shevahn Blake
Dissertations
A manuscript of poems by the author/ candidate is prefaced by a critical introduction that discusses both the positive and the difficult aspects of translating poetry from another language (in this instance, Swedish). The critical introduction explores how, in translating the work of others, a poet's own work is affected . The author/candidate then examines the transformation her own poetry has undergone, noting the differences between her "pre -translation" and "post-translation" poems.

Dissertations
The poems in my manuscript can be divided into two groups: poems in verse and prose poems. The majority are prose poems. Though I did not set out to write in the prose poem form, I’ve become more and more attracted to it, eventually seeking what Baudelaire sought when he wrote the poems in Le Spleen de Paris, a poetic prose "musical without rhythm or rhyme, supple enough and shocking enough to adapt itself to lyrical movements of the soul, undulations of the reverie, sudden leaps of conscience."

To Honor (by Wendy Jones Johnson, circa 1976)
The rosebud mouth, the round, little thighs,
Our plump, bright elf with the dark, blue eyes

Gary Snyder's Path, Jason Dockter
Masters Theses

Through Buddhism, Snyder realizes the importance of reuniting humanity with the natural world.
Upon gaining this knowledge, Snyder assumes …
