As such, it documents my direct engagement as an emergent poet with my own writing. A self- portrait of a woman’s imagination, this text narrates a transformative journey brought about by my experimentation with a number of writing strategies. Chief among these heuristics was a year-long fictive correspondence that I entered upon with the dead Modernist poet, H.D. [Hilda Doolittle]. A second heuristic used to structure my palimpsest-like text was a series of theoretical intertexts addressed to a “Dear Reader” who symbolized my academic committee. · Graduated on the Dean’s Honour List · Courses taken were in composition and creative writing theory, contemporary poetry and poetics, native literature, reader-response theory, feminist autobiographical theory, and qualitative research methodologies. 1991 Master of Fine Arts (Poetry) Warren Wilson College, Swannanoa, North Carolina · Apprenticed with such poets as Edward Hirsch, Ellen Bryant Voigt, Gregory Orr, Allen Williamson, and Brooks Haxton · Completed and published a manuscript of poetry · Wrote a 50-page essay on W.B.Yeat’s metrical revisions 1979 Master of Arts (English Literature) Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec · Specialized in Romantic and contemporary poetry and poetics · Wrote honours thesis on Denise Levertov’s poetics C.

York, Ph.D. NUMBER OF PAGES: 255 ii PhD Thesis – Erin Aspenlieder McMaster University – English Abstract This dissertation considers the use – both the function and the value – of history in nine contemporary Canadian historical novels: Steven Heighton's Afterlands (2005), Don Gillmor's Kanata (2009), Rudy Wiebe's A Discovery of Strangers (1995), Fred Stenson's The Trade (2000), Michael Crummey's River Thieves (2003), Lawrence Hill's The Book of Negroes (2007), Merilyn Simonds's The Holding (2005), Aimée Laberge's Where the River Narrows (2004) and Jane Urquhart's A Map of Glass (2006). It asks what responsibilities authors of historical novels hold to the past and to readers in the present. It argues for making a distinction between irresponsible and responsible historical fiction, a separation marked not by the strict adherence to “fact,” but rather by the acknowledgement of the continued effect of past actions and relationships on the present, specifically the present configuration of the nation called Canada.
