    IT’S DIFFERENT WITH PUPPETS A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Lydia M. McDermott June 2007 This thesis entitled IT’S DIFFERENT WITH PUPPETS by LYDIA M. MCDERMOTT has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Sharmila A. Voorakkara Assistant Professor of English Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences Abstract MCDERMOTT, LYDIA M., M.A., June 2007, English IT’S DIFFERENT WITH PUPPETS (91 pp.) Director of Thesis: Sharmila Voorakkara This is a collection of poetry preceded by a critical introduction entitled, “Cleaving the Body to/from/in My Poems: A Critical Introduction.” The introduction explores the way in which I use the female body within my poems to validate a space for this body in literature. I compare and contrast my poems to the poems of Sharon Olds, Denise Duhamel, and Beth Ann Fennely, to name a few. The creative portion of the thesis deals with the subject of the female body in many arenas, but is not limited to this subject. Approved: ____________________________________________________________ Sharmila Voorakkara Assistant Professor of English To my children, Fionn and Sawyer. Acknowledgements I would like to thank my husband, Michael Ensor. Without his constant support as husband and as father, I never could have finished this manuscript. I’d also like to thank my two sons, Fionn and Sawyer, who have been ever patient with their mother and provided a lot of the material for my poetry.

  • This File Contains Two Texts
    WINE This file contains two texts: - Wine of the Kingdom (1996) - And He Shall Laugh Them to Scorn (1997) The Wine of the Kingdom (Smoke Signals #19, October 1996) "When I depart this world to appear before my beloved Lord to account for my sins which have been scarlet, I shall say to Him: I cannot remember the name of the village; I do not even recollect the name of the girl, but the wine, my God! was Chambertin." (Hilaire Belloc) In autumn, the village of Dunham in the Eastern Townships becomes the centre of civilisation in this part of the world. For where else in Quebec more than in Dunham with its four vineyards, L'Orpailleur, Les Côtes d'Ardoise, Les Trois Clochers, and Les Blancs Côteaux, are the simple gestures of our cultural heritage being repeated more often and with greater reverence: the picking of the grapes, their crushing underfoot (so to speak), and the fermentation of their juice? For civilisation as we know it is inconceivable without wine, but then so is Catholic Christianity which is the religion of wine. The Blood of the Earth The recent development of vineyards in our midst finally allows us to do the one sacramental gesture that had hitherto been denied us, viz. to drink the blood of our own land. For wine more than any other product of the earth concentrates the essence of a place. And by this sacramental communion, the blood of the earth becomes our own blood... and in Medieval lore, it was well known that if meat begets flesh and vegetables beget excrement, wine begets blood.
