Dust bunnies in the corner : an honors creative project (HONRS 499)

Abstract

This creative project is a collection of original personal essays, short stories and poems. The following works are new, created specifically for HONRS 499: "Fear of Flying," "Plus Twenty," "The Philosophy of Socrates," "Untitled," "Solace," "Missing," and "Remembrance." In addition, Dust Bunnies in the Corner includes significant revisions of the following earlier written works: "Dust Bunnies in the Corner," "In Defense of Divorce," "On Generations," "Last Days in the Cottage on Lake Bruce," "Found Poem from History 445," "Sharps Chapel Songs," "Aqua Vitae," and "Lucy." The works included in this creative project are the polished results of months and years of revision and are therefore a "capstone" of the author's creative writing coursework at Ball State University.
