Robinson Jeffers: Appalachian, Californian, Poet, Ted Olson

ETSU Faculty Works

Excerpt: April is also National Poetry Month, and this column will focus on an April-themed poem—not one of the many April poems evincing sincere religiosity or forced sentimentality, and not that famous poem that cynically asserts that “April is the cruelest month, breeding / Lilacs out of the dead land.

Digital Poetry From A Cyborg Perspective, Daniel James Hosmer Apr 2012

Digital Poetry From A Cyborg Perspective, Daniel James Hosmer

Institute for the Humanities Theses

This study analyzes digital poetry from a cyborg perspective, showing how its multiple material aspects are foregrounded to facilitate the reader's performance of poems. It explores the poetic functions, possibilities, and constraints of the medium of digital poetry through the application of Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed, comparisons with print methods of conveying meaning, and close readings of digital poems.

The Stories Teeth Can Tell, Emily Lindsey Bonner

A World For Wanters, Andrew Leask Ortiz

English Theses & Dissertations

The six stories collected in A World for Wanters deal primarily with loneliness and isolation, usually that which accompanies a sudden or traumatic life change, as well as the identity crises that arise when an individual's sense of his place in society is disrupted. Each of these stories, narrated in the first person by a young male protagonist, explores the struggle to reconcile a worldview in which alienation is ordinary and unavoidable with the desire to love and be loved by others.
