Pearl Anthology: Prose Poems

Cogar, Jessica L.

Abstract Details

2017, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, English (Arts and Sciences).
Pearl Anthology: Prose Poems is a collection of prose poems, preceded by a critical introduction, that explore the ins and outs of queer femininity. The language of these poems borrows signs and symbols from Egyptian myth, augury, and hiking signposts. While utilizing surreal elements and dream logic, the poems aim to document the disorientation of a queer speaker as she tries to navigate a world of painful beauty rituals, queer love, and performative masculinity.
