Abstract Details

2008, PhD, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences : English and Comparative Literature.
This dissertation contains a manuscript of original poetry and a critical paper. The forty-nine poems divide into three parts –the sections differ in time, perspective, and tone and yet an energetic and hospitable voice knits them. The critical paper utilizes trauma and cartographic theories through which it argues that the repetitive gestures and the repetitive gaps in knowledge in Paula Gunn Allen’s poems and essays constitute evidence of Native American cultural trauma.
