The main theme of the collection is transformation through creation and destruction, which I explored with the use of surrealist and religious imagery. Paradox colors the poems in the thesis, celebrating both the chaos and the order of life contained in death and vice versa. The character of the grandmother appears throughout the poems or “rooms.” Although one may feel trapped in a labyrinth of emotion and discord, I desired to bring truth for the writings as a whole: that we are being who suffer but who can also escape from that suffering. Mexico and the United States are merged without making the poet a “Chicano,” but someone who transcends labels for the sake of art and song. 2015-04-28 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1429271265 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1429271265 restricted--full text not available online This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
