Hope for the Best, Prepare for the Worst

Futvoye, Carling E.

Abstract Details

2010, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, English (Arts and Sciences).
Hope for the Best, Prepare for the Worst is a collection of poems exhibiting the best creative work by Carling Futvoye. It addresses themes and issues sparingly talked about in poetry or real life. It is direct and sometimes vulgar, but depends on the vulgar diction to portray what it needs to. The introduction addresses the problematic comparison between the author and Sharon Olds, as well as Futvoye's goals in earning her endings and her sometimes "shocking" descriptions of sex and violence. The goal is to make readers aware of their own uncomfortable feelings, while remaining on good terms with the author.
