SKY SLIDING

Borowicz Betrus, Melissa

Abstract Details

2003, Master of Arts, Miami University, English: Creative Writing.
The thirty poems selected for this thesis were written during my two years in the Graduate Poetry Workshop and reflect what I feel are the aesthetics of both meaningful and accessible poetry. Roughly half of the poems are written in free verse while the other half are written in traditional metered forms. Thematically, the poems reflect personal experiences, including relationships within my family, most specifically my relationship with my late grandmother, encounters with nature, and the adventures of travel. They are largely narrative in nature and invite readers in to enjoy the often overlooked details of life. These poems also invite readers into my life to experience a piece of the emotion that compels me to put pen to paper.
