Abstract Details

2009, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, English (Arts and Sciences).
This Thesis includes a collection of original poems with an introduction which attempts to explain some of the authors intent. Most of the poems convey a sense of embarrassment through unsure speakers. These speakers feel confused by the world they are in and try to come to some understanding of what loneliness, embarrassment, and stoic behaviors are worth. The moments where the speaker is sure of himself are few and far between. The inheritance of bad habits and melancholy are also examined in some of the poems. All of these poems are about a search for art and love. The Introduction attempts to show embarrassment in T. S. Eliot's work as well as my own, pulling quotes from a book by Christopher Ricks called, Keats and Embarrassment.
