Venezuelan Portraits, Trenton Hickman

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Several months ago, the Office of Research and Creative Work accepted my proposal to prove poet Richard Hugo’s concept of the poetic “triggering town” by spending two weeks in Venezuela and then letting the sensory data I gathered “trigger” a substantial body of poetry. The research grant would enable me to 1) make the information-gathering trip to Venezuela, 2) write a body of Venezuela poems (I estimated 40), and 3) revise the poems for Fall 1994 submission to literary magazines around the country.

Chiastic Inclusio In The Pentateuch: The Covenantal Ring1, Shannon Murdock, Dr. Roger Baker, Richard Draper

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Various LDS scholars have taken pains to point out the paucity of LDS scholarship on the Joseph Smith Translation (JST) of the Bible. Priceless as it is, the JST’s literary contribution to the Old Testament remains largely unexplored. Even LDS readers are uninformed with regards to significant literary contributions made by the Prophet Joseph’s inspired corrections. My ORCA project is an effort to defray this problem by investigating a Pentateuchal poetic pattern in which JST passages from the book of Moses play a significant role. I consider the results of my research a partial answer to Robert Matthews’ prediction:

Poetry Of The River Tietê, Rex P. Nielson, Dr. George Handley

Journal of Undergraduate Research

In an essay entitled “Quantity and Quality” written in 1990, Nobel Laureate Octavio Paz bespeaks the importance of poetry in our contemporary society. He contends that during classical times poetry provided an ethical code that significantly influenced the organization of society and government. Greek citizens memorized lines of Homer, Hebrew leaders quoted passages from the Torah and the Psalms, Roman Senators learned verse from the Aeneid, and Chinese emperors recited poems from the Shih Ching. “Our classics, apart from their being examples of formal perfection and sources of spiritual pleasure, were teachers of political wisdom for two millennia” (Paz 105). …

Poetry Archives On The Web: Thomas Gray Archive, The Poetry Of The Gentleman’S Magazine, 1731-1800: An Electronic Database Of Titles, Authors, And First Lines, And The Poetess Archive, Kate Parker

ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, 1640–1830

Recent innovations in digital scholarship have enabled new online archives, editions and bibliographies to flourish. Three such online resources--the Thomas Gray Archive, the Poetess Archive, and The Poetry of the Gentleman’s Magazine, 1731-1800: An Electronic Database of Titles, Authors, and First Lines--are explored in depth in this review, with an eye to how each archive specifically encourages scholarly collaboration and makes use of crowd-sourcing technologies.

The Early Poetry Of Pablo Neruda: A Study Of Temuco As An Inspirational Source, James Krause, Dr. Ted Lyon

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto, whose pseudonym was to be Pablo Neruda, was born in the small Chilean town, Parral. His mother died two months after she gave birth to her son and two years later, Neruda’s father moved his small family to Temuco. After the Chilean military defeated the local Mapuche Indians, Temuco and the entire Araucano region was opened to settlers. With the extension of the railroad, Temuco soon became a bustling pioneer town. Many historians and literary experts have compared early 20th century Temuco to Frontier Oregon. Although Temuco was considered to be the “Far West” of Chile …

Nineteenth Century Mormon Poetry, Samuel S. Harkness, Dr. Richard H. Cracroft

Journal of Undergraduate Research

I still recall the day over four years ago when a General Authority proclaimed the LDS hymnal to be a ‘book of scripture.’ His seemingly bold declaration surprised me; but after reconsideration, it made sense. Some of the most spiritual times in my life have been accompanied by these “songs of the heart” (Doctrine and Covenants 45) Thus, the Preface of the hymnal reads, “Some of the greatest sermons are preached by the singing of hymns” (First Presidency ix). From then on, I viewed the hymns in a different light.

A Pictorial Perspective Of Isaiah, Jared Miller, Victor Ludlow, Jason Zimmer

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Jared Miller A Pictorial Perspective of Isaiah Faculty Mentors: Victor Ludlow, Ancient Scripture and Jason Zimmer, Visual Arts Taking a pictorial perspective of Isaiah, and glimpsing the visions of his painted poetry had always seemed to personally open a window of understanding to his words and prophecies. Therefore this project focuses on taking Isaiah, his messianic message, his own persona, and prophecies and expressing them visually, that “[we might more clearly] with [our] eyes… and understand with [our] hearts and be converted and healed” (Isaiah 6:10).

Time Is A Toy: The Selected Poems Of Michael Benedikt, John Gallaher, Laura Boss

University of Akron Press Publications
