Juguete, Lilianet Brintrup Hertling

Fiction and Poetry

Lilianet Brintrup Hertling es una poeta de sólida trayectoria y conocida capacidad expresiva. Es también una viajera empecinada, oriunda del sur de Chile que vive ahora en la otra punta del continente, y científica curiosa y sensible. Todo ello se entrelaza delicadamente en su próximo libro Juguete, donde viajamos con los juguetes, sus juguetes, por geografías, por ontologías y muy especialmente por capas de tiempo que marcan, a través de la memoria, el pasaje de la niñez a la adultez, o quizás a la inversa: una visita a la infancia desde el ahora adulto. Los lectores, ubicados también en este …

The Grape Cries Out!: Revising And Updating An Anthology Of Contemporary Wine Poetry, Sarah Cecil, David Alvarez, Elly Mccausland

Annual Student Research Poster Session

This project aimed to update an anthology of poetry about wine to make “winespeak” more accessible to the general public. While professional wine critics have a nuanced palette and experience with wine, casual readers of wine poetry can unlock the sensations of wine that may escape them otherwise. In total, over 140 contemporary poetry books were read, primarily focusing on a list of 56 contemporary poets. This project was advised by DePauw Professor of English David Alvarez, as well as Elly McCausland, a professor of English Literature at the University of Ghent and published author of books on Taylor Swift.

La Niebla, El Delirio, Cindy Catherine Martínez Martínez

Ciencias Sociales, Humanidades y Ciencias Políticas

Con un lenguaje fresco y sencillo, La niebla, el delirio realiza un trayecto imaginario por los mundos que trae la autora desde su memoria. Ente Trenes vagón capilla ardiente y vagón cementerio, el viaje sucede entre lugares de la infancia -"aparecimiento único de una lejanía, por más cerca que pueda estar"- y lugares inexistentes. Hay varios poemas en los que se percibe el equilibrio entre emoción, ritmo y tema. El libro fue escrito hace una década y algunos poemas fueron publicados en revistas y antologías nacionales, pero no se había editado como unidad; por lo que este poemario es …

Orpheus, Spring 2025: Porchswing, University Of Dayton

Orpheus: UD's Literary and Artistic Magazine

From Melina Blank, literary editor: Porchswing: According to Google, it’s “a swing on a porch usually made of wood leaving space for two people to sit and swing.” To Orpheus, it is the warm breath of familiarity that hums in one’s soul. The soul knows just about everything that inspires it, transfixes it, guides it. Home, a word we make sense of in terms of physical place, is not so definitively tangible. Instead, what inspires and transfixes and guides us could very well be a person, a song, a belief, a feeling.

If I didn’t know any better, I would …

Remembering Ancient Heroes: How Literary Devices Inbeowulf And Homer Assist In Poetic Recollection, Emily Davey

Posters - 2025

In both Ancient Greek and Old English traditions of poetry, memory is an essential part in the retention of the language and story in the culture’s history. Beowulf shares some poetic lyrical elements with Homer’s epithets. Though both poems have unique and different poetic meters, they possess similar tactics in the language to move the story along while providing poets “footholds” in the poem to remember the story.To deliver these stories of heroes to the public, the sophists of Greece and the scops of Celtic England had only one tool available for the record of these lengthy poems: their capacity …
