Past Due: A Collection Of Poems, Byron Lee
Past Due: A Collection Of Poems, Byron Lee
Theses
"Past Due" is a co1lection of poems written almost entirely in free verse and almost exclusively based on personal experience. I find, at least at this point in my growth as a writer, that when I try to adhere to poetic structure, I feel confined. My style is sparse because I feel that this aesthetic best cuts to the emotion I'm trying to convey. I also love playing with line breaks, since I find that doing so can give several lines in a poem their own statement, like each poem makes its own statement even when bound in a co1Iection …
Pax Americana, David Churchill
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. The narrative critiques the detached leadership of generals and politicians while characterizing the war as a cyclical, internal conflict …
Time, Nancy Gitomer
Time, Nancy Gitomer
Student Scholarship
The Lindenwood Common Project's Spring 1972 publication features a collection of introspective poetry by Nancy Gitomer titled Time. The work serves as a deeply personal exploration of the human condition, specifically focusing on the cyclical nature of disappointment, the pervasive weight of loneliness, and the struggle for authentic connection. Gitomer organizes the collection through chronological and thematic headers such as Yesterday, Today, Places, Things, and Tomorrow, creating a narrative arc that moves from specific social critiques to broad existential reflections.
In the early sections, the author dissects the artificiality of social rituals, such as proms, which she describes as cold …

The Scepter's Scale, Inland, Holly Zanville
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 …

Through A Glass, Darkly, Jo June De Weese
Through A Glass, Darkly, Jo June De Weese
Student Scholarship
This honors project, submitted by Jo June De Weese on May 1, 1954, serves as a record of the author's creative and intellectual development over three semesters of study. Titled Through a Glass, Darkly, the collection is structured to mirror a transition in both poetic technique and philosophical outlook. The author explicitly notes a deliberate shift from the use of free verse and mood-driven pieces in the early sections toward more metrical, regular patterns in the final sections. This technical evolution is intended to parallel the author's move toward more positive and structured ideas.
The document is organized into six …
Between The Moon And Thistle, Betty Jack Little
Between The Moon And Thistle, Betty Jack Little
Student Scholarship
The honors project titled Between the Moon and Thistle, represents a sophisticated collection of modernist poetry and lyrical impressions. The work is structured into three primary sections: Sonnets to Adonais, Poems, and Impressions, followed by a smaller group of lighthearted entries titled Verses for Diversion. Throughout the manuscript, Littleton explores the fluid boundaries between sensory perception and intellectual abstraction, frequently using nature—specifically the transition of seasons and the elements of wind, water, and light—as a conduit for philosophical inquiry.
In the opening sonnet sequence dedicated to Keats, the author utilizes the motif of a hawk to symbolize the poet's ability …
