This manuscript is a collection of poems that relies in part on an unavoidable lineage of Southern poetics, while simultaneously asserting a divergence from that poetic and reimagining how reconciliations with that lineage may be reached. Likewise, the personalities and voices within each poem play a contributing role in the flawed specter of place and event. In exchange for their confession and self-implication of deeds, fantasies, and fears, they seek a kind of pride not found in the simple narratives of redemption. / A Dissertation submitted to Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / Fall Semester, 2014. / December 12, 2014. / All, Devils, Manuscript, Mink / Includes bibliographical references. / Erin Belieu, Professor Directing Dissertation; Martin Kavka, University Representative; David Kirby, Committee Member; James Kimbrell, Committee Member; Diane Roberts, Committee Member.

When he suspects his dad of cheating on his mom, seventh grade bookworm Terry Jenkins uses his powers of detection to learn the truth--but it may be more than he can handle. After going through the lower grades of Saint Boniface as "that weird kid who plays detective," Terry Jenkins is ready to become a normal seventh grader. Then two things happen: someone steals his favorite book of all time, and he discovers his dad might be having an affair with his teacher. With help from his mean older cousin, his rival-turned-friend Ashley, and a classmate claiming to be an alien, Terry sets off to find facts and crack the case. But the adult world turns out to be the toughest mystery he's ever faced. / A Thesis submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts. / Spring Semester, 2015. / February 13, 2015. / Includes bibliographical references. / Mark Winegardner, Professor Directing Thesis; Elizabeth Stuckey-French, Committee Member; David Kirby, Committee Member.

The History of Living Forever tells the story of Conrad, a gay teenager with a dying father and a secret lover: his high school chemistry teacher, Samuel "Sammy" Tampari. When Sammy commits suicide in the novel's first chapter, Conrad inherits a lifetime's worth of journals that chronicle the teacher's complicated history with alternative medicine. Conrad must then decide whether and how to use these journals to save his father. Much of the book comprises Conrad's exploration of his teacher's journals, which relay Sammy's travels across the globe in search of alternative medicines and inspiration--travels that take him to China, to Belize, and even to Easter Island. Along the way, Sammy acquires allies and enemies who may ultimately influence the fate of his young student. For Conrad, the novel, at its heart, takes the shape of a simple coming-of-age story. Conrad must learn to accept and negotiate with his outsider status as a science prodigy, as a gay teen, and as the only Jew in his small Maine town. And yet this central shape of the story becomes complicated by its surroundings--epic tales involving the history of medicine and the search for eternal life. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / Spring Semester, 2015. / March 25, 2015. / Includes bibliographical references. / Mark Winegardner, Professor Directing Dissertation; Aline Kalbian, University Representative; Dennis Moore, Committee Member; Elizabeth Stuckey-French, Committee Member; Jennine Capó Crucet, Committee Member.
