Map Of The Folded World, John Gallaher

University of Akron Press Publications

Map of the Folded World, John Gallaher's third full-length collection, examines the eros and desperation of suburban America with the precision of a cartographer's eye. But as its title suggests, it does so according to the polar opposite of convention. More concerned with subtext than narrative, often childlike in tone and propelled by the logic of innocence, Gallaher's poems don't shy away from a bottom-line sensibility: “If you can just run fast enough,” one poem offers, “no one will ever die. // Do you remember that? / And are you better now?” This is a book filled with swimming …

Sisyphus Uphill, April K. Phillips

English Theses & Dissertations

Sisyphus Uphill is a collection of poems inspired by the mythic struggle of one man who angered the gods by trying to be too much like them. Sisyphus was cursed to roll a heavy boulder up a mountaintop and then watch it tumble back down to the bottom for all eternity. The pitfalls of hubris and the seeming pointlessness of our daily attempts to get ahead both in the rat race and in personal relationships may not contain the high drama of myth, but this material is rife with hidden comedy and tragedy. These poems deal with the everyday and …

Aftertaste, Matilda W. Cox

English Theses & Dissertations

This collection of poems is a collage of my experiences and observations. Some of the poems emerge from an attempt to make sense of contemporary events or the day-to-day minutia of my daily life in twenty-first century America.

The collection is divided thematically into three sections. The first has to do with the past and its impact on the future. The second has to do with the sensual and the romantic (for lack of a better term). The third section is concerned with the impact of socio-political issues on the individual. These categories arose naturally from the subject matter, but …
