Robbins August 8, 2018 Amy M. Robbins Date Signature August 8, 2018 Jeremy Glick Date Signature of Second Reader Although Sylvia Plath’s literary career pre-dates the second-wave feminist movement’s acknowledgement and use of poetry as a means to effect political change, Ariel makes a prescient cry for the dismantling of the patriarchy by creating agency and resistance through presentation of grotesquely bloodied and injured female bodies that have historically been on view only as eroticized objects of desire. Plath embeds Ariel with motifs of hospitals, medicine, disfigured anatomy, or the body otherwise in crisis, creating an affective field for the grotesque that makes female trauma a collective – and politically activating – experience. -
Alexis Pauline Gumbs (With Jeremiah Gumbs) Three Tries Alexis Pauline Gumbs the Story As I Remember It
Fishing Fly #2 THREE TRIES Alexis Pauline Gumbs (with Jeremiah Gumbs) three tries Alexis Pauline Gumbs the story as i remember it: Once upon a time in Anguilla there was a little boy named Jeremiah Gumbs. He was the youngest of nine children and they never had enough to eat. One day while little Jeremiah was out fishing with his friends he saw a beautiful rainbow fish. Beautiful, as in, delicious-looking. And big. The rainbow fish wasn’t big for no reason. The rainbow fish was wise and had grown large over the years by avoiding the hooks of the people who fished in the cove. The rainbow fish stayed safely beneath the edge of a rock watching. Keeping guard. But little Jeremiah was hungry. And he had a vision. He decided he would catch the rainbow fish and bring it home to his mother to cook for dinner. He prepared his pole and his line and his hook and tempted the rainbow fish with the most delectable bait he could charm from the grown fishermen. When he lowered the bait near the rainbow fish’s home rock he just knew he would be victorious. The rainbow fish smelled the bait and got curious. You know, fish get hungry too. The rainbow fish peered out from the edge of the rock, but the sun glinted off the edge of the sharp hook. The rainbow fish quickly swam back under the edge of the rock. No way. Not today. Jeremiah went home hungry. His mother fed him and his brothers and sisters with grease, salt tears, 2 three tries Alexis Pauline Gumbs and hard flour rolls left over from what she’d baked for the workers that morning. -

Thank you to my parents, for their support and providing me with the privilege and opportunity to pursue my passions. Thank you to Oliver, whose continual partnership and encouragement contradict most of my argument. Thank you to Chandler and Olivia, the fellow bottom-dwellers of our strange small apartment. Thank you to all of those who have populated the first floor library tables and kept me laughing these last several months. -
