Its Golden Boat

This graduate thesis in creative writing focuses on memory, fear, and growing up. The speaker undergoes a coming-of-age from child to adult, his fears and desires also growing and changing. Its themes and motifs include the natural world, insects and their life cycles, horror and genre, myth, the changing of light in the day, and the passing of the seasons. The collection concludes with revelations about reality and the role our myths and stories play in shielding us from our true fears—our eminent mortality.
