Abstract Details

2015, Master of Arts (M.A.), University of Dayton, English.
My Mother’s Missing Bees is a multi-genre project bound by the unifying theme of absence. Half short stories and half poetry, the work is driven by the image of a vacant beehive and its missing bees. The stories and poems all explore in some way the haunting presence of absence that this image evokes. Moving between, and sometimes blurring, the natural and human world, image plays a vital role in creating elements of tension and narrative throughout the work. The two parts and their subsequent stories and poems work together to present the reader with a cohesive narrative of absence.
