Self-Induced Exorcism Inside an Empty House, 2023
Item
Identifier: cw_2023spring_guttmann_graeme.pdf
Overview
"Self-Induced Exorcism Inside an Empty House is a cerebral road trip of poems exploring what it means to leave and be left, both physically – death, the leaving of a lover — and esoterically — what happens to the body and the mind when the things that have kept us stable leave? What happens when we exorcise the things that are holding us back or holding us together? Self-Induced Exorcism explores how grief manifests — how, even before loss, the anticipation of it can shape the way we move...

The book of strange migrations, 2021
Item
Identifier: wr_2021fall_haneyjardine_richard.pdf
Overview
"Throughout the five mirror sequences of "the book of strange migrations"—each about different types of exile—I explore and explode traditional forms, particularly sonnets. The first sequence—thirteen poems—examines emerging gay sexuality (darkened by childhood abuse) and sexual maturation (against the backdrop of the AIDS pandemic's worst years). The second—eleven sonnets—traces a relationship that persists despite disappointments, deceits, and separations. The third sequence—fifteen...

The boots, 2023
Item
Identifier: cw_2023spring_noto_joseph.pdf
Overview
"This collection of poems focuses on letter poems to a variety of people in my life. In between these letter poems there are a different blend of poems that offer a glimpse into the life of the writer. This work offers a well-balanced mix of emotional urgency and interior monologue. Often, my work involves details of what it is like living with mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety, and this work is no different. The poems that are not letter poems often offer an inside view of the...

The Day Lilies, 2023
Item
Identifier: cw_2023spring_fitzpatrick_mikaela.pdf
Overview
"The Day Lilies is a collection that weaves intimate poems about family, romantic relationships, nature, and mysticism to illustrate what it means to venture away from a world of familiarity to embrace the unknown. Moving from the countryside of Pennsylvania to the cityscape of Boston thrusted me out of my comfort zone and opened me up to experiences I would've never been able to imagine before. Daylilies have taught me that it's possible to thrive wherever you are planted. This collection...

The Race of Daphne, 2023
Item
Identifier: cw_2023spring_beckmann_sarah.pdf
Overview
"This collection of poetry, structured as a crew race, reflects a metaphor: life is a race, a battle. The speaker views life through the lenses of girlhood, womanhood, and motherhood, and through the experiences of being a rower and writer. Heroes, poets, and athletes crowned with laurel wreaths in ancient Greco-Roman times were usually male—these poems subvert that narrative in contemporary times by revealing unsung heroism in the ordinary, domestic, and female. These pieces describe the...
