This bridge connects people who otherwise may not have had anything in common, which is exactly what we aim to do with every issue of Cape Cod Community College’s literary and arts magazine Sea Change. Fifty years ago, the first issue of Sea Change was published and featured a range of writing not only from students, but also from faculty and staff. From that year on, Sea Change has incorporated fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, as well as photography, paintings, sculptures, and drawings. The magazine ran most years between 1968 and 2012 before a five-year hiatus. It was revived in 2017 by Professor Rebecca Griffin, whose passion for the magazine and her students’ success is evident. The Sea Change staff this semester is composed of six students who have all managed to put a bit of themselves into the pages that you will see. The pieces we have chosen to feature in this edition were selected with students in mind. We think of the magazine as a creative outlet for community members to showcase their experiences and voices. We hope that whoever reads this magazine—whether that be today or fifty years from now—will be able to connect to the work published in the 2018 edition of Sea Change. We hope you will feel inspired to take on your own creative pursuits and let your own voice be heard.

Gates At a glance through the Looking Glass all appeared opaque, It seemed dark and dank, with little to intake. Yet you wondered and imagined what could lie beyond, Your mind began to fill with fears as illusions spawned. Not only were you afraid, but you were unable to respond To a miniscule voice that would otherwise be fond. It orated with a tongue soft spoken, brittle—dead. Invasive and cold, the voice’s influence spread. You were drawn back to the Glass not realizing your mistake, For once you had seen—no longer could you awake. Thrust through the Looking Glass, all came to a rest, With no one to help, the darkness digests. As you scream and shout, your efforts in vain, A miniscule voice surfaces to further ordain. It speaks, in a whisper, you feel life begin to drain, Articulate and clear, the sharp speech piercing your brain. You try to escape this inevitable end, But with your attempts becoming desperate you further transcend. Your lids fall slack, your tears have run dry, And there it hits you—you open your eyes. You will awake in a sweat and be relieved it was a dream, The adrenaline will slowly fade from your bloodstream. But then you’ll hear a miniscule voice in the distance, And note the resonance in this whisper’s persistence. Yet the harder you try to ignore its subsistence, In the end you will succumb to this essence’s existence. You will follow against your will, to its beckoning call, And once you arrive your mind will slowly recall. You will open the drawer not yet realizing your mistake, As you glance through the Looking Glass, all will appear opaque. 1 SeaChange 2018 AllBook V5.indb 3 5/15/2018 3:35:07 PM Roses into the Void By Jacob A. Savoie-Foster My favorite author hung himself, with an unfinished manuscript next to his lifeless body. My favorite poet jumped from a bridge, with a poem and a photograph tucked into his pockets. Are my feet riding the same edge? Or can I toss roses over the edge and into the Abyss, and thank it? A trip to the florist is long overdue, because I know now that This Is Water and that there are still Songs in my Dreams but I may not have known what it meant to swim or to listen if it hadn’t been for them. And, I hope I hope I hope I hope I hope That somewhere down there, in the dark, someone catches the roses I tossed and finds the strength to scale back up. 2 SeaChange 2018 AllBook V5.indb 2 5/15/2018 3:35:09 PM Spider, Meghan Reed, collage, ink, acrylic on canvas (16”x20”) SeaChange 2018 AllBook V5.indb 3 5/15/2018 3:35:17 PM FICTION The Shipbuilder’s House By John Hanright The briny beach, coated by a dense layer “I always walk this beach; it eases my mind of fog, lies before a short, gray-haired man as he and refreshes my body,” he answers. walks into the dim expanse surrounding him.

    © 2014 Octavio R. Gonzalez ALL RIGHTS RESERVED MISFIT MINORITIES: RESISTING UPLIFT IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY FICTION By OCTAVIO RAFAEL GONZALEZ A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School–New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in English Written under the direction of Marianne DeKoven and Rebecca L. Walkowitz And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Misfit Minorities: Resisting Uplift in Twentieth-Century Fiction By OCTAVIO R. GONZALEZ Dissertation Co-Directors: Rebecca L. Walkowitz and Marianne DeKoven My dissertation develops the concept of the misfit minority, a literary sensibility emergent in the twentieth century, which enacts an ethos of resistance to collective uplift, bourgeois respectability, and liberal personhood. This sensibility is shaped by the experience of double exile: from majority culture and cultural identity. Such misfit outlooks represent a continuing yet under-acknowledged and under-theorized challenge to late-modern identity movements and liberal society. “Misfit Minorities” is devoted to making visible the diversity of political and ethical claims made by minoritized authors of modernist and postmodern literary fiction, and to rethinking the normal ranges of agency and political norms within a context of resistance to these norms. My interest in advocating for the literary-cultural narratives of misfit minorities is in service to a “queer” or non- normative vision of collectivity that allows for the ugly feelings, and the figures for such feelings, that are disowned by modern minoritarian norms of uplift and noble resistance to majority culture, rather than complicity with it.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • And Twenty-First-Century Fiction Dissertation Presented in Partial
    Reclaiming Aesthetics in Twentieth- and Twenty-First-Century Fiction Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Wanzheng Michelle Wang, M. A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Brian McHale, Advisor David Herman James Phelan Jon Erickson Copyright by Wanzheng Michelle Wang 2015 Abstract An apparent rift exists between the anti-aesthetic emphasis in postmodern and contemporary literary theory, on the one hand, and readerly appreciations of and engagements with the aesthetic, on the other. This tension between anti-aesthetic critical paradigms and aesthetic experiences of fiction is the central problem I examine in my dissertation. By putting philosophical, aesthetical, narrative, and literary traditions in conversation with each other, I propose a new framework for understanding aesthetic impulses at work in twentieth- and twenty-first-century fiction by revising Immanuel Kant’s and Friedrich Schiller’s heuristic tools and categories—which I argue remain pertinent to understanding twentieth and twenty-first century fiction. Drawing on these and other contributions to aesthetic theory, I suggest that post-war fiction is dominantly concerned with the harmonies, engagements, and tensions between what I term the form- drive, the moral-drive, and the sense-drive, in relation to readerly roles and responses. Part I includes two chapters devoted to play, which I characterize as the dominant aesthetic energy that characterizes postmodernist fiction (McHale). My analysis of Flann O’Brien’s At Swim-Two-Birds (1939) and Alasdair Gray’s Lanark (1981) relates to readers’ inhabitation and orientation of the playful, complex ontological worlds of ii postmodern fiction.
