Abstract Details

2013, Master of Arts, Miami University, English.
This collection of poems is interested in the tensions between childhood and adulthood, especially surrounding themes of fear, family, and mortality. In three narrative verse sequences, these themes are engaged using specific characters and references from history and literature (including the lives and works of A. A. and Christopher Robin Milne and Maurice Sendak) as well as fictional and autobiographical elements of my own experience and design. The guiding belief threaded into the project is that neither childhood nor adulthood is characterized by freedom from fear, sadness, or hardship.
