The Linguistic Adventures Of Leo And Neo, Kenneth Hopkins Apr 2015

The Linguistic Adventures Of Leo And Neo, Kenneth Hopkins

Manuscripts

The problems forced upon civilization by the development of languages are numerous, baffling, and elusive of solution. These problems, furthermore, have never been comprehensively catalogued, and thus have escaped detection by the masses who labor on, under the resulting handicaps, oblivious of the fact that their every action is molded, inhibited, guided and otherwise affected by language...

Blake And The Child, Sally Forsythe Apr 2015

Blake And The Child, Sally Forsythe

Manuscripts

In "The Lamb" from Songs of Innocence, William Blake captured the sensitive imaginativeness, the knowledge and the awareness of childhood in a filigree of delicate language, verse form, and understanding. He lifted the veil of childhood and revealed that period of life in which imagination, not yet restricted, gives the child a pure understanding of God an his relations to Him and the the world about him...

The Jungle Down The Street, The Town Across The Bridge, All Is Very Well, Taylor B. Tyson Apr 2015

The Jungle Down The Street, The Town Across The Bridge, All Is Very Well, Taylor B. Tyson

Honors College Theses

The Jungle Down the Street, the Town Across the Bridge, All is Very Well is a series of short, nonfiction essays attempting to paint several portraits—regional, ecological, familial, and personal. Focused around the town of Apalachicola, Florida, it addresses themes of family, folklore, tragedy, and the “New Sublime,” or the feeling of wonder at the beauty that precedes an inevitable end. The piece attempts to blend multiple narrative and thematic arcs through the use of humor, anecdote, and historical research.

The Little Magazine In Contemporary America, Joanne Joanne Diaz, Eds., Ian Morris, Eds. Apr 2015

The Little Magazine In Contemporary America, Joanne Joanne Diaz, Eds., Ian Morris, Eds.

IWU Authors Bookshelf

Little magazines have often showcased the best new writing in America. Historically, these idiosyncratic, small-circulation outlets have served the dual functions of representing the avant-garde of literary expression while also helping many emerging writers become established authors. Although changing technology and the increasingly harsh financial realities of publishing over the past three decades would seem to have pushed little magazines to the brink of extinction, their story is far more complicated. In this collection, Ian Morris and Joanne Diaz gather the reflections of twenty-three prominent editors whose little magazines have flourished over the past thirty-five years. Highlighting the creativity and …

The Last Ice Cube, Robert Courtney Apr 2015

The Last Ice Cube, Robert Courtney

Manuscripts

In the very darkest corner, behind the davenport, there sat a little ice cube. Tears were dripping slowly, monotonously, hopelessly from its block-shaped face. The eerie moonlight peeped around the deserted room and revealed the most pitiful expression one could ever witness en the face of an ice cube. And the reason? The little ice cube was dying. Some careless reveler had flipped it out of a glass in one horrifying fling, and there it lay, in a state of inertia, awaiting the hideous death of an ice cube. Slowly, atom by atom, it was disappearing.


After Many A Summer Dies The Swan, J. E. Minnis Apr 2015

After Many A Summer Dies The Swan, J. E. Minnis

Manuscripts

For a brilliant satire on humanity, I can think of no better author to turn to than Aldous Huxley. His rhetoric is flawless, his characters unbelievably typical, and his satire tinged with just the right amount of reality to render it plausible. Born in England, Mr. Huxley has no more mercy on his own countrymen than he has on those of other nationalities. His satire is universal and completely nonpartisan.


William, Nancy Hendricks Apr 2015

William, Nancy Hendricks

Manuscripts

The gravel roads were just beginning to thaw on that early spring day, and each step we took splashed mud at my boots. Some early robins and some perennial sparrows were doing aerial acrobatics in celebration of the new season. William's eyes, however, were not following the birds' gyrations; nor were mine. While he was staring thoughtfully at the road, I was watching the attitude of his ears--watching because his ears are often indicative of his thoughts. At the time, as though he were mildly tolerant of the situation, they were in a reassuringly lax position, neither upright nor flat, …

Arthur Guy Funkhouser, Portrait Of A Doctor, Dave Berry

Manuscripts

The wind blew across the glazed surface of the frozen lake, intent upon entering a small cabin on the northern shore. After circling through the trees, glistening from the clean, white snow, the howling messenger of Aeolus descended, sending a wintry blast of air through a slightly opened window.

Justice, Patrick J. Mahoney Iii Apr 2015

Justice, Patrick J. Mahoney Iii

Manuscripts

Two sharp knocks. Then the sound of hard heels retreating rapidly away from the solid oak paneled door. Expectancy. Rising from the high-backed chair, Colt in hand, he walked slowly across the pitch black room to the door. Silence.
