| Summary: | The dissertation manuscript Beer League Outros is, among other things, an investigation of contemporary masculinity. Roused by uncertainty regarding gender roles in post-modernity, the poems elegize via arranging male attributes into a mosaic, a virtual roster of mannish longings and foibles. Transcendental philosophy, Jewish mysticism, and inquiry into creative processes are spigots, as well, which feed the poems, and which immerse and pacify the male ego. Formally, the poems range from free verse to metrical verse; however, an ambition of each is to perform between the spinning ropes of story and song. === A Dissertation submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree
of Doctor of Philosophy. === Summer Semester, 2013. === April 8, 2013. === Includes bibliographical references. === Erin Belieu, Professor Directing Dissertation; Martin Kavka, University Representative; David Kirby, Committee Member; Elizabeth Spiller, Committee Member. |
