RECKLESS ANXIETY HUGO ESTEBAN RODRIGUEZ CASTAÑEDA Department of Creative Writing APPROVED: _____________________________________ Daniel Chacón, MFA, Chair ______________________________________ Tim Z. Hernandez, MFA ______________________________________ Frank Perez, PhD ______________________________________________ Charles Ambler, Ph. D. Dean of the Graduate School Copyright © by Hugo Esteban Rodriguez Castañeda 2015 Dedication I dedicate this work to the memory of my abuelito Esteban Rodriguez Luna, because his words, his music, and his love for his family, work, and art drew me to become the writer I am and to have the energy to always keep pushing forward. As he once wrote to me, “No hay que estar inactivo, porque venado que se para, lo flechan.” I dedicate this also to the memory of my grandfather Jose Castañeda Dominguez,
