English literature Plath Sexton Zelda Millay Mental Illness McGuckian Poetry This project is a series of poems written from the perspectives of Zelda Fitzgerald, Sylvia Plath, Edna St.Vincent Millay, Anne Sexton and Virginia Woolf, who discuss their deaths, lives, loves, works and the words written about them both during their lives and in the imagined space and time of a "coffeetable in the afterlife." The collection employs conventions from formal poetry, free verse and prose. Some of the borrowed cadences and "scaffolding" of those forms and the obsessive nature of the repetitions within some will serve to highlight the common thread of mental illness. Poetic forms lend a kind of order to the chaos of art, but also they add deliberate reverberations that echo the hauntings of those suffering from mental illness.My examination of the poetry of Medbh McGuckian as the critical component of this project deals with the difficult aesthetics of her work and its relationship and perceived responsibility to the politics of being a woman writer in Northern Ireland. 2008 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1227275015 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1227275015 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
