ABSTRACT This Heart Goes Bang Bang is broken into three sections, all of which explore classical references, much as poetry has done before, but in the context of my experiences and using a modern lens. I like a lot of things. In theorizing about this work, I am unable to pinpoint any specific school of poetry my manuscript resembles. I still hesitate to say "new poetry" and would prefer to think of it as the inspiration of a wide array of many things I've connected with. My poems are largely female identity poems, but also deal with anxiety and self-consciousness about being able to explain myself. My style and form are organic, part of me, not an aesthetic choice or a stylistic pose. I have to write this way and I love it, I've embraced it. It is in the alchemy of the poetic line where writers turn bleakness into something transformative that provides much of the framework for my poetry. I claim full responsibility for "the speaker" in This Heart Goes Bang Bang. The resemblance is uncanny. / A Thesis submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts. / Fall Semester, 2011. / June 23, 2011. / Includes bibliographical references. / Barbara Hamby, Professor Directing Thesis; Andrew Epstein, Committee Member; David Kirby, Committee Member.
