Item Restricted barbarous(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2010) Dempsey, Sunshine, author; Cooperman, Matthew, advisor; Beachy-Quick, Dan, committee member; Dicesare, Catherine, committee memberWhat barbarous is primarily concerned with, as a book of poetry, is a formal representation of the disintegration and recreation of the speaker’s psyche. A more stable identity, that with which the speaker begins the manuscript, is represented by a more stable form, that of the prose block, which will gradually evolve into a more “fractured” structure, that of the “spatial” or “field” work. This hybridization of form is deliberate in that it should most aptly capture the disorientation of identity, the “breakage” that occurs to the speaker when he/she loses (and attempts to regain) a sense of “wholeness.” In this manuscript, the loss of identity is also represented metaphorically by an inability to speak, or to be understood. This loss of voice is a displacement to the speaker, and is therefore furthered by fracture and negative space. When there is no voice, there is no language, no written word, and therefore the silence of the empty page.Item Restricted But not this book(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2013) Pieplow, Sarah Louise, author; Beachy-Quick, Dan, advisor; Steensen, Sasha, committee member; Dicesare, Catherine, committee memberThe following book of poems explores the Persian/Urdu ghazal form, as interpreted into an American English-language context.Item Open Access Exploring new work: a personal reflection art critique in the world of prints(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2014) De La Cruz, Michael, author; Simons, Steve, advisor; Dormer, Jim, committee member; Dicesare, Catherine, committee member; Kneller, Jane, committee memberThe paper at hand seeks to critique aspects of my own work in terms of thinking process, act of making, and several contextual art concepts of the past including: comparisons to certain Futurist artists and elements of pre-Columbian Aztec and Mayan artwork. I will discuss briefly technical processes and emphasize visual concepts. In viewing several examples of my own prints and exploring the makeup of these pieces, one can better understand the delicate balance between the earthly components of past artwork and the sleeker, more geometric designs of the future. These two attributes are utilized in my work to create the tension and play derived from personal emotions. In breaking down these works into components that can be directly compared to my own influences, the genres and allusions to ancient art mingle into a single map of art and time.Item Restricted Gone song(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2018) Young, Catherine, author; Beachy-Quick, Dan, advisor; Dungy, Camille T., committee member; Dicesare, Catherine, committee memberGone Song is a collection of poems divided into two primary sections. With its major themes of loss and grief, the book explores different means of survival, looking both toward the outside world—landscape, other people, other writers—and toward the self/body and interior consciousness and the experience of reading and writing.
