The magical I mystic genesis of my poetry may be seen better if first my work is absorbed. My poems are not the type to be intellectualized but, like primitive art, their ideas are felt rather than rationalized. The psychoanalytic content or poetry of personal relationships contributes lyric energy to the work. The reader should be able to experience the imagery, the singing of words but, also feel the ideas as they speak to the reader\u27s subconscious. The poet may become an instrument of change because of the directness of communi- . cation the poetry makes. When the reader attempts to rationalize my poetry the subliminal content, by being pushed into a plane that it does not function on, becomes extremely difficult to understand.

Spending doesn't happen in a vacuum : three essays on psychological factors of consumer spending
If you are anything like me, the days that go by without spending any money at all are few and far between. As societies have developed, it would seem that spending money on a frequent basis has become a way of life for many consumers. A seemingly endless and ever-increasing number of brands, social occasions, and websites/applications provide an abundance of opportunities for us to part ways with our money. Scenarios such as grabbing a couple of drinks with a friend after work, buying a gift for an upcoming birthday celebration, or purchasing tickets online to an upcoming sporting event all involve seemingly straightforward transactions which involve spending money. My dissertation contributes to the consumer financial decision-making literature by examining how interpersonal features (between consumers, essays 1 & 2, between business and consumer, essay 3) of a purchasing scenario may impact the decisions consumers make or the satisfaction consumers derive from spending their money. In this dissertation, I explore how the method of payment consumers use to pay for a shared experience can impact the enjoyment of an experience (essay 1), how income inequality in relationships can impact spending on gifts (essay 2), and how the pricing structure retailers offer to consumers can impact their perceived trustworthiness and purchase intent (essay 3).
In my first essay, we propose that the method of payment consumers use to pay for shared experience can impact how transactional the payment is perceived to be, which has downstream consequences on the enjoyment of an experience. My second essay examines how relative income, or income inequality, in social relationships can impact the amount of money consumers spend on gifts. We find that when gift-givers earn relatively more than the gift recipient, they engage in more prosocial spending via buying more expensive gifts, on average, compared to buying a gift for a recipient who earns relatively more than themselves. In my third essay, we study how the pricing structure retailers choose to convey to customers can impact how trustworthy the retailer appears, which subsequently influences purchase intentions.Marketin
Minimalism and art-cinema narration in Gus Van Sant's Gerry, Elephant, and Last Days
Though Gus Van Sanfs best known films-My Own Private Idaho and Good Will Hunting-have earned critical acclaim and commercial success, the focus of this thesis is a trilogy of films made in the first decade of the twenty first century. Gerry, Elephant, and Last Days form a stylistic trilogy that replaces conventional filmmaking's emphasis on plot and character development in the construction of film narrative with a minimalist style of cinematography that defies viewer expectations. Working against the tradition of a plot constructed around a psychologically motivated, causal chain of events, Van Sant instead offers very little in terms of conflict and other readily identifiable components of generic plot including character motivation. Though Elephant won the best picture and best director awards at the Cannes Film Festival, these three films have been either largely ignored or heavily criticized as miserable failures.</p
Re-socialization within organizations: Examining the socialization and job satisfaction of employees following an organizational transition
When an employee joins an organization, they can typically expect to experience the socialization process within their first year of employment. Now more than ever, companies are hiring from within to retain their core employees and maintain a strong culture, leading to employees transitioning between departments or geographic locations. However, it is unclear whether employees are experiencing socialization following those organizational transitions, which could impact their job satisfaction and organizations’ employee retention rates. This qualitative study interviewed ten individuals regarding their recent organizational transition, their socialization after their transition, and their job satisfaction before and after their transition. The goal of this study is to determine how socialization is occurring following an organizational transition, and what the impact of that re-socialization is on employee job satisfaction
