Abstract Details

2012, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, English (Arts and Sciences).
Major Kiss is a collection of twenty-six poems written, edited, and collected during Cameron Kelsall's time at Ohio University. While the poems cover a wide variety of topics--including creating back-stories for strangers, how to survive a blizzard sober, and the perils of having Wallace Stevens as your therapist--the common thread throughout the collection is an honest and often uncomfortable look at the many stages of human relationships. The collection is preceded by a critical introduction in which Kelsall analyzes the influence of confessional poetry, with particular emphasis on the use of voice, tone, diction, and form in the work of John Berryman (1914-1972).
