Abstract

A poetic examination of violence and how it interacts with myth, youth, perspective, and family. The goal of these poems is to get at how we value, portray, and deal with violence as a society, and how that affects us as individuals. This thesis operates through a specific lens of Protestant Christianity as myth, and is focused on American violence and its representation in particular.
