  • The Saturn and Sphinx Moths of the Upper Midwest Arises from a Number of Compositional Approaches and Thematic Interests
    THE SATURN AND SPHINX MOTHS OF THE UPPER MIDWEST A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Grad Studies and Research In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Masters of Arts in Creative Writing and English University of Regina by Nathan James Mader Regina, Saskatchewan January 18, 2018 © Copyright 2018: Nathan Mader UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Nathan James Mader, candidate for the degree of Master of Arts in Creative Writing & English, has presented a thesis titled, The Saturn and Sphinx Moths of the Upper Midwest, in an oral examination held on December 14, 2017. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: *Dr. Albert F. Moritz, Victoria University in the University of Toronto Supervisor: Dr. Medrie Purdham, Department of English Committee Member: Dr. Jesse Battis, Department of English Committee Member: Dr. Michael Trussler, Department of English Chair of Defense: Dr. Janis Dale, Department of Geology *via Teleconference ABSTRACT The Saturn and Sphinx Moths of the Upper Midwest is a collection of original Metaphysical lyric poems. While its subjects and themes are various, the collection reflects the continuing relevance of the techniques and characteristics most readily associated with the seventeenth-century Metaphysical poets, but which in truth can be found throughout the history of lyric poetry to the present day. The poems in The Saturn and Sphinx Moths, with a few variations, follow a trajectory from poems rooted in memory and experience to poems engaged with the ineffable and the spiritual.

The largest graduating class to date – ten students in total – completed their studies under an adverse set of circumstances: a sudden shift to an on-line environment, cyber-thesis defenses, and virtual convocation. Deepest congratulations to Doreen Stumborg, Susie Hammond, Tonia Laird, Sarah Ens, Kathryn Shalley, Zach Keesey, Jameson Lawson, Kate O’Gorman, Hope Houston, and Cameron Muir!
