I was young, but maybe I was truer. I never refused wine, but Li Po was wrong about that. Die falling off of a boat grasping at the stars, and people start to question whether or not you can handle your liquor. No, I pulled myself back onto the boat and dried off. For the best, yes, but god I miss those libertine nights. I never thought I could see myself without my beautiful tan girl, but where are those ancient nights now? The days trample on like amputated pachyderms, and sometimes I wake up in the wreckage of their grotesque storm. Don’t get me wrong—I bite their ankles as they crushed me. I sunk my teeth into the filthy grey of their remaining limbs, and they let out an irritable objection. Nothing too pronounced, mind you—like the reaction to a mosquito bite. But this is in my blood—we don’t fight straight on, but bite at the heels. I am not Ernest Hemingway, nor was meant to be—I Prufrock around, wishing the romance built inside me could manifest itself into something other than inebriated despair. I am no man of action, nor a Papa of exaggerated masculinity. I demure, letting the idiot men of action have all of the glory. Simps in identical clothes. Cavemen who shave every inch of themselves. We real men ah ha ah. Chant loud. Me like boobs and jacked up trucks ah ha ah. I will spend no more time rambling out of my mouse hole. For if the fog lifts, I’ll see how dejected everything really is. After all, sitcoms still come on. I can sit there and take in all of the canned laughter for hours. 12 Ferguson CALEB BILLINGS Black armor against black skin. Both are illuminated in a hellish orange that Laughs and mocks all from the shattered windows of cars and buildings. The flames boil the blood of everyone and goad on the inevitable clash. It’s a dance done a million times before with each side moving forward then backing up; each afraid to be the one attacks first. Indistinct yells and whining sirens build in intensity until both sides can no longer resist and they erupt towards each other. The opposing black shadows appear to merge together but remain separated by a line of plastic shields. The flames dance higher and higher in ecstasy as twisted mouths spew demonic vitriol at each other. Finally that thin clear wall breaks and the old rituals of bruising skin, snapping bones, and cracking skulls begin. The morning sun greets the charred skeletons of Storefronts and sidewalks scabbed over with blood and ash. Horrified it retreats behind a blanket of grey clouds and denies the town its light. A forgiving November breeze rolls in to wipe away the smoke and shake the only light source left; A flickering sign that simply reads “Seasons Greetings.” 13 Birth Control KATELYN SPIDEL You said, maybe no And I shrugged happy shoulders And thought, maybe yes Slipped away and forgot That I used to be floating Inches up and laughing Because when you come to me I’m not really there I’m alone and pondering Not really you, but why I feel this way And when did it start, and when will it stop And I hope it does And I fall asleep I swallowed it, the dust and bitterness That left me sinking to the floor Revenge in my mWouth Dipping deep in my throat, my stomach, my blood Changing me, I’m Hitler And you have brown eyes Cracking me, I’m ice And the last thing I want Is to think or accept that I might be This ghost still tomorrow Of who I was, no, of someone else Because I was more wonderful, wasn’t I? But not this strong And not so correct And not so possessed With these demons, dearest friends Here to strangle me in sleep 14 Reflection shies back at the face Of a monster in her grave Perfect product of the night Not so pretty anymore I asked for this But at the chance that I might Forgive my ears their ringing You your panicked clinging This fraying rope its stinging Dry eyes note the red ring It left around my neck I ponder Not really you, but why I feel this way And when did it start, and when will it stop And I hope it does And I lie awake Remember ing how you said Maybe no, and realize It starts behind the mirror In the bathroom And I’m sorry So I’ll stop 15 ALYSSIA RUSSELL Untitled 3D Design Sculpture 16 KAT RICHEY Humanity Ceramic Sculpture 17 Statue Still W J MCCORMACK we stood statue still as the glue dried permanently affixing the googly eyes to our foreheads hoping that we could reach enlightenment despite the inorganic state of said eyes it is through static transmissions they chatter we can’t discern it 18 Statue Still Upon Losing a Friend W J JAMES MCCORMACK ROPER When I was 19 my best friend, Joe, drowned right in front of me. Him, a female neighbor of ours, and I were looking for a place to swim. We found it on the Goose Shoals in Green Hill, where his family lived. We all walked a ways down the creek, keeping to a rock shelf opposite the more accessible side of the water. Soon we found a nice shallow entry point. My friend and I then decided to race to the other side of the creek.

  • The Literary Lives of Marginalized Readers: Preadolescent Girls’ Rationales for Book Choice and Experiences with Self-Selected Books
    THE LITERARY LIVES OF MARGINALIZED READERS: PREADOLESCENT GIRLS’ RATIONALES FOR BOOK CHOICE AND EXPERIENCES WITH SELF-SELECTED BOOKS By JENNIFER MICHELLE GRAFF A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2007 1 © 2007 Jennifer Michelle Graff 2 To “The Girls’ Club” 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I could not have completed this part of my life journey, filled with pit stops, side trips, exciting adventures, and extended stays, without the strength, love, and support of many people. I am extremely appreciative of my dissertation committee members, Dr. Danling Fu, Dr. Dick Allington, Dr. Linda Lamme, and Dr. John Cech, who warmly accepted my idiosyncrasies and kindly helped me channel my passion for research. Without their mentorship, I doubt I would have made it this far. The intellectual acuity and nurturing demeanor of my committee chair, Danling Fu, helped me improve my work and changed my approach to life. Dick Allington and his work with struggling readers was the catalyst for my pursuit of a doctorate. My research apprenticeship with him was invaluable and I still reel at the wealth of knowledge he not only possesses but willingly shares with others without hesitation. I am also thankful to have met and worked with Linda Lamme, with whom I share a passion for children’s literature and commitment to social justice. Our personal chats and email exchanges about children, books, and the powerful effects of their interactions, were enriching and will always be remembered. John Cech’s expertise in children’s culture was also helpful in multiple ways.

  • Girls Made Of? the Discourse of Girl Power in Contemporary U.S
    WHAT ARE LITTLE (EMPOWERED) GIRLS MADE OF? THE DISCOURSE OF GIRL POWER IN CONTEMPORARY U.S. POPULAR CULTURE Rosalind Sibielski A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Lesa Lockford, Graduate Faculty Representative Cynthia Baron Kimberly Coates © 2010 Rosalind Sibielski All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor Beginning in the late 1990s, U.S. popular culture has been inundated with messages promoting “girl power.” This dissertation examines representations of girl power in the mass media, as well as popular literature and advertising images, in order to interrogate the ways in which the discourse of girl power has shaped cultural understandings of girlhood in the past twenty years. It also examines the ways in which that discourse has functioned as both an extension of and a response to social concerns about the safety, health and emotional well-being of girls in the United States at the turn of the millennium. Girl power popular culture texts are often discussed by commentators, fans and their creators as attempts to use media narratives and images to empower girls, either by providing them with models for how to enact empowered femininity or by providing them with positive representations that make them feel good about themselves as girls. However, this project is arguably limited by the focus in girl power texts on girls’ individual (as opposed to their structural) empowerment, as well as the failure of these texts to conceive of the exercise of power outside of patriarchal models.

  • (Don't) Wear Glasses: the Performativity of Smart Girls On
    GIRLS WHO (DON'T) WEAR GLASSES: THE PERFORMATIVITY OF SMART GIRLS ON TEEN TELEVISION Sandra B. Conaway A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Kristine Blair, Advisor Julie Edmister Graduate Faculty Representative Erin Labbie Katherine Bradshaw © 2007 Sandra Conaway All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kristine Blair, Advisor This dissertation takes a feminist view of t television programs featuring smart girls, and considers the “wave” of feminism popular at the time of each program. Judith Butler’s concept from Gender Trouble of “gender as a performance,” which says that normative behavior for a given gender is reinforced by culture, helps to explain how girls learn to behave according to our culture’s rules for appropriate girlhood. Television reinforces for intellectual girls that they must perform their gender appropriately, or suffer the consequences of being invisible and unpopular, and that they will win rewards for performing in more traditionally feminine ways. 1990-2006 featured a large number of hour-long television dramas and dramedies starring teenage characters, and aimed at a young audience, including Beverly Hills, 90210, My So-Called Life, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Freaks and Geeks, and Gilmore Girls. In most teen shows there is a designated smart girl who is not afraid to demonstrate her interest in math or science, or writing or reading. In lieu of ethnic or racial minority characters, she is often the “other” of the group because of her less conventionally attractive appearance, her interest in school, her strong sense of right and wrong, and her lack of experience with boys.
