They’re measuring the age of the earth
by what it’s lost—isotopes
leaching like childhood,
leaving you with a faulty memory and rheumatoid arthritis—
Earth, is that how you feel?

You Can't Miss Me, Jose Sandoval-Gutierrez
Things My Father Taught Me, Casey Waits
Things My Father Taught Me, Casey Waits
The Tuxedo Archives
They say every man grows up to be his father. I’m pretty sure they say the same thing about women too. They also say how life is all about the little things. The devil is in the details and what have you; body language, facial expressions, clothing, ticks, mannerisms, habits, speech patterns, sayings, tones, opinions, and patterns. These are what make up a person. These are what make up me. I learned them from my dad.

Futile Attempts, Melissa Graveson
Futile Attempts, Melissa Graveson
The Tuxedo Archives
I don’t know why I remember waking up one morning, and getting ready to go to the mall when I was five years old. The morning started just as so many others had. I crawled out of my bed, reluctant to leave the warmth, and comfort, it provided. Soon after I made it over to the dresser, where I found an outfit to wear. The shirt and pants I put on were indicative of a child’s wardrobe. These items were not unique, or original, by any means. Having put on traditional children’s clothes I then moved onto adorning myself with …

About My Ways, Mark Milton

Moving about my ways
Finding problems, new goals, and even battles,
But finding a way for success!
Feelings change constantly like hours of the day.

You want me to express
a joy I can’t express.
I’m at a loss for words
like I lost my courage
at the sight of the sword.

I get to his office tired. My prefect dark ringlet curls dripping wet from the rain. I start to his office not paying attention to the fact that his secretary is trying to stop me.
“Miss Brown,” his secretary is saying, “he is on a conference call right now. If you wait I can let him know you are here.”
“I don’t have time to wait David.”
“Miss Brown,” he shouts at me, but I am already at the door to Joe’s office.
As I walk in, I swallow hard.
“So we are going to build this building in stages,” …
Late-Victorian Novels, Microsociology, And Bad Dialogue, Amy Wong
Late-Victorian Novels, Microsociology, And Bad Dialogue, Amy Wong
English and Creative Writing | Faculty Scholarship
This essay argues that a separation between dialogue and talk has been enforced since the rejection of mimetic realism in the late nineteenth-century art of fiction debates. Both the institutionalization of formalist methods and poststructuralism since Derrida have resulted, moreover, in continued suspicion about ontological claims made about any category of "orality." Yet what has been lost in the name of poststructuralist sophistication is an appreciation of talk as an embodied, relational, and sociologically mediated form. This essay contends that revisiting dialogue with a view toward such elements—from gestures and other physiological productions to "invisible" social dynamics—unfolds ethical dimensions of …
"The Names Of Sickness": Emily Dickinson, Diagnostic Reading, And Articulating Disability, Vivian Delchamps
"The Names Of Sickness": Emily Dickinson, Diagnostic Reading, And Articulating Disability, Vivian Delchamps
English and Creative Writing | Faculty Scholarship
Emily Dickinson’s “There is a Languor of the Life” hints at her knowledge 1 about diagnostic and surgical approaches to bodymind pain during her time. Although the poem can be read as a metaphorical portrayal of spiritual suffering, it also demonstrates Dickinson’s familiarity with contemporary medical innovations as well as her skillful use of simile to poetically depict complex bodily states. For example, the poem describes a “languor” that envelops consciousness with a “Drowsiness” that “diffuses – / a Dimness like a Fog,” evoking literal sensations one might feel while under the influence of anesthesia.2 The poem goes on to …

Open Ears, Open Mind, Open Heart: Active Listening, Mia Nguyen
Open Ears, Open Mind, Open Heart: Active Listening, Mia Nguyen
Service-Learning | Student Scholarship
Active listening is the act of listening with all senses– the body, the mind, and the soul. It means empathizing with another person and finding that place within ourselves where we can listen beyond our initial judgements and personal feelings. It is listening beyond words and allowing our souls to understand, connect, and accept one another. Active listening sparks internal purity eliminating all types of judgement and allowing us to truly take in what another person has to offer. It is “an experience of language as a bodily felt process” in which we have a felt understanding rather than a …
Introducing Godzilla To Marianne Moore's Octopus Of Ice At The Intersection Of Global Warming, Environmental Philosophy, And Poetry, David Seter
Dissertations, Masters Theses, Capstones, and Culminating Projects
This paper explores the question: how can a poet write an ecologically aware poem about global warming? Global warming impacts everything on earth, most visibly the glaciers melting away before our eyes. Adopting Aldo Leopold’s environmental philosophy of thinking like a mountain, the poet may describe the impact of global warming upon the mountain, glacier, flora and fauna, that form an interconnected web of life. A poem that thinks like a mountain already exists: Marianne Moore’s “An Octopus” (published in 1924), which takes its title from the system of glaciers (or octopus of ice) on Mt. Rainier. For a contemporary …
Who Died: Redefining The Elegy Through Affect And Trauma, Brittney La Noire
Who Died: Redefining The Elegy Through Affect And Trauma, Brittney La Noire
Dissertations, Masters Theses, Capstones, and Culminating Projects
This project introduces the claim that death literature, specifically elegies and epitaphs, do not rely on set structure or content, but rather are poetic effects of trauma and affect. Both have been defined and redefined by critical scholars, but there is still a division about their use. The beginning of the project will pull together Paul De Man, Cathy Caruth, Theresa Brennan, and Diana Fuss to apply the theoretical principle of trauma and affect transhistorically through Theocritus, John Milton, and Percy Shelley. The final portion will be an original creative collection of elegies combined with epitaphs as ending couplets about …
The Lost Artist: Biographical Fiction And The Identity Of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, Alexandra Fradelizio
The Lost Artist: Biographical Fiction And The Identity Of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, Alexandra Fradelizio
Dissertations, Masters Theses, Capstones, and Culminating Projects
Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald (1900-1948) is widely regarded as the first flapper of the Roaring 20s and is often recognized for her tumultuous marriage to acclaimed American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. As a female icon whose life was filled with salacious incidences and mental struggles, the image of Zelda continues to be reinterpreted in various movies, television series, and novels. However, very few center on her artistic pursuits of writing, painting, or dancing and how her desires to contribute to the art world were overshadowed and disrupted by her successful husband. Therese Anne Fowler’s Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald (2013), …

The Poetry Of Delight: Lessons From Chana Bloch, Judy Halebsky
The Poetry Of Delight: Lessons From Chana Bloch, Judy Halebsky
English and Creative Writing | Faculty Scholarship
The frst thing I learned about poetry from Chana was delight—delight in the world around us, pain and all. I studied with Chana at Mills College in Oakland, California, from 1996 to 1998, in the Master of Fine Arts in English and Creative Writing Program. For a period, our work-shops met at her house in the East Bay hills; I remember her living room with ornate red decorations and dark foor- to- ceiling bookshelves. We would sit in a circle as we read and discussed poems. However, the real focus of our class was on Chana’s stories, anecdotes, and words …
