Editorial Surprise, Surprise Nicholas Bradley As I begin to write this editorial, worrying at the turn and tune of a phrase, I hear crying in the next room. I get up from my chair, lurk soundlessly in the hall, and wait for our eight-month-old to fall asleep again. When he does, it’s a miracle. Everyday magic. I tiptoe to my desk and stare at the screen, having forgotten whatever I was about to say. What can I do but start over? We all forget things all the time. A letter goes unanswered. A meeting is missed, or a deadline, an appointment. Sleep-deprived, I find myself forgetting more than usual. Where did I misplace the anthology I’ll need for class in an hour? Did I mark all the essays? In a befuddled state, I ponder the notion that at the heart of teaching and learning, and of reading and writing, is a dance between forgetting and remembering. Literary scholarship is shaped in no small part by the limitations of scholars themselves. We aspire to expertise, and bear a professional obligation to know what is not generally known, yet there is always more to read, and our interpretative claims are governed by how little any one of us can remember, let alone truly comprehend. I’m often surprised by the accidents that occur when I pull books from the shelf.

  • 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.
