A Turkish Dictionary, Andrew Wessels May 2012

A Turkish Dictionary, Andrew Wessels

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

The poems in this manuscript, A Turkish Dictionary, probe a number of related issues: What is the relationship between a word and its object? What is the connection between meaning in two different languages? How do we live in a city overwhelmed with history? What is necessary? How do we accept knowing that we cannot know? These and other questions constitute the investigative purpose of the manuscript as specifically and actively an exploration of the questions rather than an argument for a final, singular answer. Structurally, the manuscript uses two poetic forms: dictionary poems and prosaic poems. The dictionary poems …


The End Of Her, Kerry Alexander Apr 2012

The End Of Her, Kerry Alexander

English Honors Projects

The End of Her is a collection of poetry that centers on ideas of celebrity, nostalgia, pain and healing, and collective memory. The poems depict the lives and times of tragic women: from Eve to Amy Winehouse. The project touches on both the real and the imagined in examining what it means to be famously tragic, as well as what it means to be a spectator of demise. Interwoven autobiographical pieces reveal the relationship between individual memory and shared history, as the collection positions personal accounts of love and loss in conversation with some of the world’s best-known stories.

A Poem And Its Painting, Jenny Lee '13 Apr 2012

A Poem And Its Painting, Jenny Lee '13

2012 Spring Semester

Charles Bukowksi, one of the most controversial poets of the 20th century, loved very few things- alcohol, sex, his typewriter, and classical music. His poetry is considered down-to-earth and easily relatable, but it is still able to maintain a high level of artistic and literary merit. His skill as an artist becomes clear when his poem “Dostoevsky” is juxtaposed with Caravaggio’s famous painting, “The Sacrifice of Isaac.” This painting depicts an angel stopping Abraham from sacrificing his son, Isaac. Although these pieces come from different artistic media, painting versus the written word, their shocking similarities are a testament to …

The First And Final Poetry Of Joanne Deming, Joanne Deming Apr 2012

The First And Final Poetry Of Joanne Deming, Joanne Deming

Honors Theses and Capstones

This thesis is a culmination of my development as a writer at the University of New Hampshire. It explores the idea of the self and how it applies to writing.

The Stories Teeth Can Tell, Emily Lindsey Bonner Apr 2012

The Stories Teeth Can Tell, Emily Lindsey Bonner

English Theses & Dissertations

This collection explores the idea of familiarizing the strange, reacquainting oneself with wonder, and how the use of humor can create evocative poetry. The collection aims to use humor as a mechanism to deal with subject matter such as family relationships, loneliness, alienation and death. Linear and circular narrative were used to create poems that act as smaller stories that come together to create a timeline of stories arranged from birth, to mid-life, to death.
