Abstract Details

2009, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, English (Arts and Sciences).
As a collection of poetry, Crash Course in the Philosophy of Passion begins to examine the joys and challenges of monogamous partnership in the 21st century. The introduction discusses the work of Kim Addonizio, Lucia Perillo, and Jane Kenyon as established poets writing about romantic relationships. The poems in Crash Course in the Philosophy of Passion seek to navigate a space within confessional poetry between the anger and edginess of Addonizio and the placidity of Kenyon while simultaneously avoiding the ennui of Perillo. The poems seek to communicate the passion that can be found in the quiet quotidian.
