Treatise, Scripture, Manifesto: Reckoning With "Love Cake", Lalini Shanela Ranaraja Apr 2021

Treatise, Scripture, Manifesto: Reckoning With "Love Cake", Lalini Shanela Ranaraja

Audre Lorde Prize

This essay was written in response to Sri Lankan-American writer and activist Leah Lakshmi Piepzna Samarasinha's poetry collection Love Cake, as part of a directed study I undertook in Spring 2021. A goal of the directed study, titled "The Empire Writes Back" was to engage with and build upon work by writers from South Asia and the diaspora, of which Piepzna-Samarasinha is a vocal member. In this essay, I explore not only the sense of connection I feel with this poet and her body of work as a result of shared experiences of otherness, trauma, and nationhood, but also …

forward

onward so as to make progress; toward a successful conclusion.

“There is a way forward

and yes

it is with a broken

heart

but it is our own way

collectively convened,

pondered,

Shared.”

Elara's Wave, Sarah Huizar Apr 2021

Elara's Wave, Sarah Huizar

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

A cautionary story rooted in themes of autonomy and identity, Elara's journey begins when she joins the MM (Martian Marines) to follow in her late father's footsteps. Along the way, she learns he essentially pioneered an on-going femicide mission on Mars by kidnapping vulnerable women and replacing their reproductive organs with alien wombs. The MM's aim is to weaponize these women to form a militarized coalition after they transform into strong alien creatures. When Elara investigates the MM's goings on, she is kidnapped, too. However, the alien womb she is implanted with provides her with adverse effects, giving her the …

Gothic Elements In J. K. Rowling’S Prisoner Of Azkaban, Kayla J. Baur Apr 2021

Gothic Elements In J. K. Rowling’S Prisoner Of Azkaban, Kayla J. Baur

Publications and Research

Gothic fiction is a genre of literature that tells a story of terror or suspense, and does this by employing dark scenery, eerie narrative devices, and atmospheres of gloom and mystery. It is a genre that has been ever-evolving since its first true emergence in the eighteenth century, and a prime example of this evolution is the modern Harry Potter book series by J. K. Rowling which employs gothic elements into its otherwise predominantly fantasy-fiction genre. For the purpose of this paper, the focus lies on the third installment of the series,  Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which …

Colony Collapse is a novel about longing, loss, and the trauma we carry through the world, focusing on three characters: Daniel Amana, Logan Cassidy, and Malory Bennet as they navigate a hostile environment and attempt to find somewhere to belong, or a way to move on. It is a novel that seeks to answer the difficult question of what we do with a life unfulfilled.

Capable, Arianna Elise Miller Apr 2021

Capable, Arianna Elise Miller

Theses and Dissertations

"CAPABLE” is a full-length manuscript of poetry. The speaker of the manuscript interrogates her family’s past, specifically the past of her father. The speaker details how her grandmother abandoned her father as a young boy. This story of abandonment, and its aftermath, is expressed through portraits of the speaker’s family members. The most prevalent theme—freedom to choose one’s own path despite familial obligations—is seen through the grandmother’s leaving and the speaker’s own sexual experiences. Both the grandmother and speaker make decisions that alienate them from their families. Their experiences are juxtaposed in a way that presents the grandmother as a …
