The Eulogist

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 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. / Thesis (M.F.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2011. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
