Title: RESIDUE: WORLDS THAT INHABIT US.
Creator: Binnings, Corrine, Mitchell, Susan, Florida Atlantic University, Department of English, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
Abstract/Description: As humans, we walk through this world hauling remnants of all our individual and collective experiences. We are composites of the things we have seen, been through, the things that have touched our lives and marked us permanently. We are, ourselves, residues of the things that shape the worlds we inhabit and the worlds that inhabit us.

Show moreAs humans, we walk through this world hauling remnants of all our individual and collective experiences. We are composites of the things we have seen, been through, the things that have touched our lives and marked us permanently. We are, ourselves, residues of the things that shape the worlds we inhabit and the worlds that inhabit us. On a collective level, people of the Caribbean, particularly those of African descent, are residues of a colonial past that was fraught with violence on every level and a successive local legislature that continues to perpetuate much of the exploitative practices of colonialism. On a personal or individual level, most of us have suffered injury to our psyche and to our bodies that have rendered us what we are today. We are, in a sense, residue (what-lefts) hauling residue, carrying the twin load of what Paula Morgan describes in her book, The Terror and the Time, as “violence and trauma induced by the outworking of [historical and] structural inequalities” along with dust we accrue in our personal walk through this world (2). And whether we admit it or not, the lives we now live, the relationships we sustain or fail to sustain, and the lives we impact are touched by the residue of experiences we carry with us into those spheres.

Title: Behind Dasheen Leaves.
Creator: Morgan, Shauna Melissa., Florida Atlantic University, Mitchell, Susan
Abstract/Description: Behind Dasheen Leaves is a collection of poems that is challenged by the resonance of the Caribbean post-colonial voice. It is a challenge that this collection brazenly battles, as it avoids exoticizing the work, while it submerges the reader in cultural representations. The poems are manifestations of religious syncretism, multiculturalism, and feminist ideas. Behind Dasheen Leaves affects the reader by depicting the products of colonialism while evoking human emotions and experiences. The...
Show moreBehind Dasheen Leaves is a collection of poems that is challenged by the resonance of the Caribbean post-colonial voice. It is a challenge that this collection brazenly battles, as it avoids exoticizing the work, while it submerges the reader in cultural representations. The poems are manifestations of religious syncretism, multiculturalism, and feminist ideas. Behind Dasheen Leaves affects the reader by depicting the products of colonialism while evoking human emotions and experiences. The characters in this collection experience loss, and they struggle with the inability to define self in a society of miscegenation and assimilation. The syncretistic nature of the poems and the lives of the speakers within the poems force the reader to define self in respect to religion, culture, and other societal components evident in the work. Behind Dasheen Leaves normalizes the universe (for its characters, readers, and of course for its writer) as it serves as an emotional, linguistic, and vivid retention of what can no longer be described as lost heritage or history.

Title: I Would Rather Talk About Persimmons.
Creator: Feimi, Mary, McKay, Becka, Florida Atlantic University, Department of English, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
Abstract/Description: I Would Rather Talk About Persimmons aims to understand the roots of trauma, addiction, and lineage. A discovery of what it means to be half American, half Albanian. A discovery of loving the people in our lives no matter how imperfect, no matter how painful no matter the sacrifice. The work seeks to understand the existence of joy and pain in the ways they work together and by doing so we see that emotions of the human experience are not linear, rather chaotic.

Title: Self-Gardening.
Creator: Reeves, Naudia, McKay, Becka, Florida Atlantic University, Department of English, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
Abstract/Description: Self-Gardening seeks to explore the oftentime selfish rationale behind seemingly selfless decisions. In dissecting my motivation, I found insecurity. I don't garden for the joy of it, I garden to feel valuable. Beneath my desire for children, lives the terrifying hesitation of putting more bad into the world. While this thesis does look to shine a light on uncomfortability and insecurity, it has no interest in poking or prodding them. Acknowledgement and awareness are enough.

Title: MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S POEMS.
Creator: Marcum, Margaret, Mitchell, Susan, Florida Atlantic University, Department of English, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
Abstract/Description: “Midsummer Night’s Poems”—as the thesis’ title suggests—is based on Shakespeare’s play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The thesis’ poems reflect a very dream-like state of progression, starting with overall harmony in terms of relationships and followed by the consequences resulting from immature love’s fickle nature. The poems, however, are not meant to be read as grave or humorless even though their tone is sometimes overdramatized. The poems’ tone is lighthearted, while engaging the...
Show more“Midsummer Night’s Poems”—as the thesis’ title suggests—is based on Shakespeare’s play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The thesis’ poems reflect a very dream-like state of progression, starting with overall harmony in terms of relationships and followed by the consequences resulting from immature love’s fickle nature. The poems, however, are not meant to be read as grave or humorless even though their tone is sometimes overdramatized. The poems’ tone is lighthearted, while engaging the suffering of love’s hardships. It keeps the reader’s perspective comparable to Bottom’s. The thesis’ message is that we should not take ourselves so seriously. Finally, the thesis’ poems act as a mirror to Shakespeare’s play since common themes emerge in both. In sum, the thesis’ tone shadows the lightheartedness of the play’s and yet conveys that while “The course of true love never did run smooth,” true love always finds a way to bring us peace.

Title: Wool and water.
Creator: Frederick, Kira., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of English
Abstract/Description: Wool and Water is a creative work of 36 poems. This collection examines the relationship between the silent and vocal, between the pastoral and urban. By reconfiguring and retelling the fairy tales and nursery rhymes, this collection seeks to challenge the status quo through trickster-like diction. Themes that are prevalent include: alienation, nourishment, anonymity, and the female body. From the concrete to the lyric, Wool and Water relies upon the process of questioning patriarchal guises....

Title: The Eulogist.
Creator: Pagan, Michael J., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of English
Abstract/Description: The Eulogist hastens along two structural/narrative approaches: the narrative sequence form and how it relays a poetic narrative in newer and more unique ways, and a dialogic approach I've termed a perpetual tense, where a variety of voices representing a variety of temporal realities are given agency to perform within the same space at the same time. Both approaches stem from my own philosophical views in response to such grandiose ideas as "language," "life," "moments," "love," etc., and...
Show moreThe Eulogist hastens along two structural/narrative approaches: the narrative sequence form and how it relays a poetic narrative in newer and more unique ways, and a dialogic approach I've termed a perpetual tense, where a variety of voices representing a variety of temporal realities are given agency to perform within the same space at the same time. Both approaches stem from my own philosophical views in response to such grandiose ideas as "language," "life," "moments," "love," etc., and how reversible they seem. I respond by offering a common denominator that appears to exist amongst these ideas: the presence of desperation that feels to be the only tangible element perpetually moving forward, represented within the narratives of the manuscript's four main characters: Hero, Heroine, Marvelous Swab (The Eulogist) and myself (The Eulogist). Ultimately, the resolution is found within each character's response to their desperation as well as their rationalizations behind each response.

Show moreStatement of the Problem: To understandable pres sure s for accountability from legislators, parents, students, and other taxpayers -- and from within -- educators must respond by designing new curricula and evaluating them with the increasingly sophisticated tools of educational measurement. Findings: 1. Contrary to the hypothesized outcome, the traditional treatment group exceeded the gain in achievement of the modular treatment group beyond that expected through chance fluctuation. Using multivariate analysis of variance for pre- post poetry achievement stratified by treatment and sex, with the pretest as covariate, a significant interaction effect was obtained ( F = 10. 450 for treatment, p < .01). No significant main effect of sex or interaction effect of sex x treatment was obtained. 2. Each group gained significantly in achievement, at the .05 level. The F statistic obtained for the traditional treatment group was 44.3427 ( p < .001) and the F statistic obtained for the modular treatment group was 10.771 (p < .01). 3. Attitude levels did not change significantly nor differ significantly although there was a slight numerical superiority favoring the modular group.

Title: THE IMAGE OF THE AMERICAN IN CUBAN REVOLUTIONARY POETRY.
Creator: HARKER, JEANNETTE MARY., Florida Atlantic University, Rangel, Vicente H.
Abstract/Description: Political protest has been prominent in Cuban poetry since the nineteenth- century, and pro- American Cuban poets have always been rare. There seem to be two main developments of the image of the American. Prior to 1959, there was intense nationalism as a reaction to American imperialism. Later, the negative image of American capitalism was formed, in part, by Marxist ideology. In poetry published after 1959 the image of the American recurs on three levels: military, cultural, and social. The...

Later, the negative image of American capitalism was formed, in part, by Marxist ideology. In poetry published after 1959 the image of the American recurs on three levels: military, cultural, and social. The image of the American as a military invader, economic imperialist, threat to Cuban mores and cultural values, and racist existed before the 1959 Revolution and continues to be an underlying theme in contemporary Cuban poetry.

Title: The Far winter.
Creator: Rodrigues, Elizabeth., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of English
Abstract/Description: This collection of poems engages narratives of geographical and emotional displacement on a journey toward a place from which to begin writing. The inciting narrative is one of travel - Brazil, to England, and to adulthood. A second narrative emerges as a gradual realization that these first displacements will never be truly resolved and that this lack of resolution is the only occasion from which to write. As the collection continues, the speaker of these poems is less and less comfortable...
Show moreThis collection of poems engages narratives of geographical and emotional displacement on a journey toward a place from which to begin writing. The inciting narrative is one of travel - Brazil, to England, and to adulthood. A second narrative emerges as a gradual realization that these first displacements will never be truly resolved and that this lack of resolution is the only occasion from which to write. As the collection continues, the speaker of these poems is less and less comfortable with pronouncement and more and more comfortable with action. The act of doing something - moving, driving, walking, escaping, returning, floating down a river of ice - is what creates the silence needed to proceed. Through the body, deafening directives can be temporarily suspended.

Title: roofless.
Creator: Rehman, Sahar., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of English
Abstract/Description: Here, the natural world is consumed - a physical reality and an internal one. It is walled, but roofless - a contained space. Elements are absorbed, same energies interacting within us that work around us - the natural forces of gravitation and electromagnetism, fire and water, growth, and time. Fundamental interactions in nature, forces that hold the universe together are treated as symbolic of the human experience. The sense of rooflessness is an essential theme to my thesis. There is a...
Show moreHere, the natural world is consumed - a physical reality and an internal one. It is walled, but roofless - a contained space. Elements are absorbed, same energies interacting within us that work around us - the natural forces of gravitation and electromagnetism, fire and water, growth, and time. Fundamental interactions in nature, forces that hold the universe together are treated as symbolic of the human experience. The sense of rooflessness is an essential theme to my thesis. There is a constant return to the sky. The shifting clouds, the stages of the sun and the moon mimic a traveling through time, a constant change. There is a given feeling of freedom and confinement. There is a vulnerability, a destitution, and a lack of shelter. The open sky, always out of reach, is a tease to be free. Though it also hints at a feeling of oneness, a symbolic relation between the divine and the human. The open, uninterrupted path for direct prayer. Roofless indicates a continuous linkage between the ground and the sky, between rain and dirt, between nature and humankind. .
