Burning Down the Grief Motel is a collection of poems that combines explorations of a central speaker's personal grief, his transition into fatherhood, and his negotiations with identity in relation to landscape, folklore, local history, and issues of class. As a whole, the collection seeks to explore the different contexts in which traditional modes of masculinity become self-destructive in ways that disrupt those contexts and the people who must live within their boundaries. / 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 18, 2015. / literature, Poetry, Southern / Includes bibliographical references. / James Kimbrell, Professor Directing Dissertation; Juan Carlos Galeano, University Representative; Erin Belieu, Committee Member; Susan Ward, Committee Member.
