Pax Americana, David Churchill

Student Scholarship

Pax Americana, presents a complex, multi-part allegorical poem that explores themes of war, guilt, and the human condition through a structure inspired by classic epic journeys. The first section, titled The Guerre, follows a narrator thrust into the Vietnam War, which he initially views as a personal quest to prove his worth to a demanding lover named Laura. The battlefield is depicted as a landscape of existential despair and physical agony, where soldiers encounter horrors like gas-induced blindness and napalm burns.

Student Scholarship

The scepter's scale, inland is a collection of modern poetry and prose by Holly Zanville, presented in 1968. The work is characterized by its experimental structure, evocative imagery, and a recurring focus on physical sensations and existential themes. The document is organized into seven major sections, beginning with more abstract and surreal pieces that delve into childhood memories and the creative process. 

In the early sections, Zanville uses visceral language to explore themes of identity and perception, often contrasting the mundane with the profound. For instance, a half-yet hour describes a narrator reflecting on a childhood clown and the patterns …
