Abstract

In this master thesis, the candidate presents her collection of original poems, accompanied by a critical introduction, which explains her writing and revision process. In the critical introduction, careful attention is given to three poems in particular, the purpose of which is to look at those particular poems as the most exemplary of the candidate’s revision process. The candidate asserts, through her critical introduction, and in the poems themselves, how much her poetry has developed during her graduate work at the University of Missouri – Kansas City.
