SMALL FRETFUL PASSENGERS A Thesis Presented by AMY DICKINSON Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Massachusetts Amherst in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF FINE ARTS May 2007 MFA Program for Poets and Writers SMALL FRETFUL PASSENGERS A Thesis Presented by AMY DICKINSON Approved as to style and content by: _______________________________________ Dara Wier, Chair _______________________________________ No y Holland, Member _______________________________________ James Tate, Member _______________________________________ Peggy Woods, Member ______________________________________ Dara Wier, Director MFA Program for Poets and Writers __ _____________________________________ Joseph Bartolomeo, Department Chair English Department PREFACE At seven years old, I planned to harness a team of huskies and trap lynx in the Yukon. My peregrine falcon would accompany me. A pack of wolves would adopt me. I would commune with dolphins and occasionally live in the hollowed husk of a burnt tree. At twenty -five, I planned to move to Manhattan, write poems with an abundance of exclamation points, grow wittier and campier, and infiltrate the me tropolitan art scene. In between, I ate cheeseburgers and coca -cola and bemoaned the crummy people in this crummy world. I was an ambulance driver, stoically in love in Italy in wartime. I locked a child in the closet so she couldn’t see the sun. I pil oted a starcraft. I bricked a man into a wall. I was a man bricked into a wall. I watched the southwest turn to dust. I boxed before a crowd of ghastly howling white men. I was moral and righteous and awful and despicable and grotesque and wondrous an d wonderful. I was and am an eager reader, ever -ready to be destroyed and remade. Most books do this to me. The books I remember do this to me. They reveal new ways, of writing, thinking, living, laughing, questioning. The books I love most exercise m y imagination and expose possibilities. I spend a lot of time being confused by the world. Remotely piloted aircraft fly reconnaissance missions over nations. Fish genes are spliced with corn. My brother joins the army. My mom buys sixteen pairs of s weatpants. An Indian farmer must buy new seeds each year because his crops have been engineered to produce infertile seeds. I spend a lot of time in iii a state of wonder. I can send a letter to Kosovo! An ostrich swallows stones to aid in digestion! A Ve nus Fly Trap actually eats flies! I am not naïve. I am overwhelmed. In Donald Barthelme’s “The School,” the children say, “please, please make love with Helen, we require an assertion of value, we are frightened.” Rimbaud “became a fabulous opera.” Fr ank O’Hara is “not depressed anymore, because Gregory has had the same experience with oranges, and is alive.” When the “wheat leans back toward its own darkness,” I, like James Wright, “lean back toward mine.” Pablo Neruda wants to do to me “what spring does to the cherry trees”! Tomaž Šalamun eats blue imagination! Borges speculates that “on some shelf of the universe there lies a total book.” After a load of raccoons is tire -ironed to death, George Saunders’ 400 -pound CEO types invoices and cheery p ost -burial paragraphs for Humane Raccoon Alternatives. The word “possibilities” does not imply empty reassurance nor does it necessitate hopeless bewilderment. The books I love most expose possibilities, give me a glimpse at another way of iv thinking, maki ng nearly possible the impossible: inhabiting another’s perspective. Sometimes I use these spaces to order the world, to upend the world, to laugh at the world, to gaze in awe at the world, to grope for affinity in the world, to distance myself from the w orld. Sometimes I want the muchness of the world straightforwardly reflected on the page: I have read and loved Tony Hoagland, Lucia Perillo, Frank O’Hara, Barbara Hamby, Allen Ginsberg, and others, for their passionate ramblings. I have read and loved J ames Wright for his insistence on precision and his willingness to aim for the transcendent phrase or image, Elizabeth Bishop for her sharp and sensuous intelligence, John Ashbery for his intimacy and ceaseless attention. I adore Neruda, Šalamun, Rimbaud, Saunders, Russell Edson, and Dean Young for their invention. Joe Wenderoth’s Letters to Wendys will have me posing questions until I die. Yusef Komunyakaa manages to meld the concrete and the mythical into a hybrid that sets my lungs on fire. My first reading of Sylvia Plath’s Ariel produced a similar reaction. I read some writers for their humor, some for their humorlessness. I read the New York Times Science section for the sheer joy, and occasional terror. Books make, for me, the world bigger. Mo re known, less known, grander, more horrific, stranger, less strange, resonant with history and memory, confused by history and memory. Books do not take me from the world but make me want to move through the world. If I must mention writing —always, I wi ll identify myself, more honestly, as reader —then writing is one more way of moving through the world. I am looking for my best way, will be for a while. And in the meantime, look, here, a man sprouts the v antennae of a cockroach. Look, here, the sea has risen and washed away the facade of Jefferson Davis’ Biloxi home. Here, a war rages in the desert. Here, a battle occurs on Mars. Someone’s mother has gone missing. Someone discovers a whispering wall. A coyote is playing tricks. No one has enough to eat. All but one have gone blind. Someone is lonely. Someone is trapped in a McDonald’s drive -thru. Someone is content. Someone is quizzical, and preparing to ask why. vi CONTENTS PAGE PREFACE ................................ ................. iii ONE The Wells of Western Arkansas ............................. 2 Here’s What We Do ................................ ......... 3 Lurleen’s Interactive Museum of Ornamental Catastrophe .... 4 Population Explosion, In Which the Census -Takers Grow Confused ................................ ........ 5 The Researcher’s Assessment of the Coming State of Affairs ................................ ..... 6 This Calendar ................................ ............. 7 Small Fretful Passengers ................................ .. 8 Choreograph y with Peach Groves ............................ 9 Thumbnail ................................ ................ 10 Let the Tired Sky Sleep ................................ .. 11 Watch Me Run ................................ ............. 12 Musket, Muslin Shirt, Fried Dough ........................ 13 Excavators of Local Waters ............................... 14 Good Night, Good Night ................................ ... 15 Please, Follow Me ................................ ........ 16 Post -Introductory Parade, Lentissimo ..................... 17 TWO Groundskeeper ................................ ............ 19 First Draft Index ................................ ........ 20 One Brother the Awkward ................................ .. 21 The Bugle Players Bid Good Morning ....................... 22 Thrift ................................ ................... 23 The Significance of Linens ............................... 24 Decollection ................................ ............. 25 Improvisational Genealogy ................................ 26 To the Man Masquerading as a Sandwich .................... 27 Cordial Invitation to the Unveiling of the Ne w Fall Line . 28 Thumbnail ................................ ................ 29 The Certified Hypnotist ................................ .. 30 Escapology ................................ ............... 31 Come In, Sit Down, Have Some Tea ......................... 32 Pacific Malady ................................ ........... 33 The Possibility of Heroism at the Fancy Gadget Store ..... 34 Day in the Life ................................ .......... 35 Fred Astaire’s Unusually Large Hands ..................... 36 Tour for the Lepid opterist in August ..................... 37 Let’s Watch TV, Jimmy, and I’ll Unbraid Your Hair ........ 38 Trapped in the Cable Car ................................ 39 THREE After James Nachtwey ................................ ..... 41 Hysterical Podiatry ................................ ...... 42 vii Plot and Graph ................................ ........... 43 Welcome Back to the Flatlands ............................ 44 Against Avatars ................................ .......... 45 Thumbnail ................................ ................ 46 We Will Wait Un til Everyone Is Quiet Before We Begin ..... 47 We Gallop in Herds on the Island ......................... 48 Pecan Bayou ................................ .............. 49 Thumbnail ................................ ................ 50 Proxemics ................................ ................ 51 Mother of Invention ...............................

Kastely CWP Director Kathy Smathers Assistant Director Maria Martinez Program Coordinator Glenn Blake Alumni Coordinator Undergraduate Advisor 713.743.3015 [email protected] 2004-2005 Edition Every effort has been made to include faculty, students, and alumni news. Items not included will be published in the next edition. From the Director... The academic year 2004/2005 was a particularly full one. We welcomed Claudia Rankine to the faculty; we participated in the inaugural course for the new Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for Col- laboration among the Arts; and on April 16, 2005, we hosted a celebration of the UH Creative Writ- ing Program’s 25th anniversary. This year we will welcome Kimiko Hahn to the poetry faculty and welcome Patricia Powell in the Fall and Peter Turchi in the Spring as visiting professors of fiction. And 19 new students will join the program: 10 in poetry; 8 in fiction, and 1 in non-fiction. In 2005/2006 we will address the undergraduate concentration in Creative Writing; we will work with the Graduate Studies Program to reform our graduate programs; and we will continue our ef- forts to build a strong and effective alumni association. It was especially gratifying in April to visit with alumni and former faculty. It allowed us the op- portunity to recognize the special contributions of some of our former faculty, to acknowledge people in the community who have generously supported the program over the years, and to ac- claim the achievements of our alumni.

  • Lenten Devotional
    Gleaning America’s Fields Feeding America’s Hungry Daily Lenten Devotions scripture readings • reflections • prayers Walk Humbly is a time of self-examination, evaluation, and sometimes drastic personal changes. HowLent quickly the joy of Jesus’ entry to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday turns to the horror of his arrest, the mourning of his crucifixion, and the joy of seeing Jesus alive, Easter Day! What a mix of emotions the followers of Jesus must have experienced. What uncertainty! Consider others as they are in the midst of their own drastic changes. Some have lost jobs while others have lost their homes. Finances have been depleted, but their children are still hungry. Where are they to turn? As we step into Lent in 2021, chastened by nearly a year of living with and through the Coronavirus pandemic, the theme of this year’s Lenten devotions may seem a bit strange—Walk Humbly. It comes from the book of the Old Testament prophet Micah, “What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8) What does “walking humbly with God” mean in these days? Perhaps it is just treading lightly on the earth, realizing that our time here is short and we are all more fragile than we previously real- ized. Over the next 47 days, as you read these devotions, you’ll share in the reflections and prayers of a diverse group of writers and thinkers, all contemplating Micah 6:8 from within the time of the pandemic. Over the last year, hunger needs in the U.S.

  • Chapter III the FOUR VINCENTIAN VOWS: YESTERDAY and TODAY
    Chapter III THE FOUR VINCENTIAN VOWS: YESTERDAY AND TODAY Those who become detached from the desire for worldly goods, from the longing for pleasure, and from their own will become children of God. They enjoy perfect freedom. For it is only in the love of God that real freedom is found. They are people who are free, who know no law, who fly, who go left and right, who fly still more. No one can hold them back They are never slaves of the devil nor of their own passions. Oh, how happy is the freedom of the children of God! SV XII, 301 Since the publication of the previous chapter in an earlier form,' many people have encouraged me to attempt something similar in regard to the four Vincen- tian vows.' I am grateful for their stimulating me to engage in the research and reflection whose fruits I offer below. As with all such projects, I have been helped enormously by the research of others,' particularly in the first part of the chapter. But I have also attempted to examine the writings of St. Vincent anew. I. "Five Characteristic Virtues: Yesterday and Today," Vincentiuiw 29 (1985) 226-254. 2. Many have encouraged me by their use of my article on the five virtues in retreats and formation programs and by their translating it into various languages. But I am especially grateful to J.-O. Baylach, former editor of Vincentiana, who was the first to suggest the idea of another article focusing on the vows. I hope that what I have written here addresses the topic at least somewhat adequately.
