Item Salt Water(MFA in Creative Writing, The University of Tampa, 2018-06-14) Reyes, LisaA prose poem novella, Salt Water is a simple love story. As her mother is dying, a daughter sets out to meet the father she hasn’t seen in eighteen years. The story moves between New York and Miami, between leaving and returning, between memory and myth.Item Satin Stains(MFA in Creative Writing, The University of Tampa, 2018-01-04) Stewart, MargaretThis creative nonfiction follows the connections of three women: the narrator, her mother, and Silvana — a victim of a violent crime — for whom the mother serves as an advocate. From marriages to family holidays, and births to murders we follow their realities of what it takes to “get through it.” Each will find moments where they get through it together and moments that they work it out alone. Through an experimental blend of personal essay, faux-theatre scenes, and true crime writing, the reader will traverse narratives of family, trauma, and survival.Item Shelf Space(MFA in Creative Writing, The University of Tampa, 2014-06-14) Smith, AbigailIn “Shelf Space,” siblings Clint and Cindy are overwhelmed by life’s expectations, and left feeling unfulfilled. Cindy is listless in the family she’s built, and Clint is simply trying to keep from self-destructing. Reunited after three years, they learn to make peace with their choices and, most importantly, to keep space in their lives for those who matter.
