Abstract
This dissertation, Hanging Big Mary and Other Poems, is a collection of original poems by the author, Juliana Gray Vice. The poems address a range of subject matters and themes, though they are bound by a strong sense of voice and Southern identity. Ecology, race, history and personal autobiography are among the subjects addressed. A range of poetic forms is also used, including blank verse, formal sonnets, and free verse. The dissertation also includes a critical paper, "Beholding Nothing: Wallace Stevens's Paradox of the Imagination in 'The Snow Man' and 'The Plain Sense of Things.'" This paper uses these two poems, written at opposite ends of Stevens's career, to illustrate Stevens's ongoing struggle with the paradox of using the metaphor of poetry to express a reality without metaphors, and the development of his ideas over the span of his career.
