Title: The Naturalization of a Citizen of the World (or, Travels)
Background:
I was originally planning to do a re-write of a paper I wrote for my IAS 220 class on AIDS in Senegal; however, once the Mayhew contest was announced in class I started toying with the idea of doing a series of shorter poems instead. In these poems, I will attempt to capture both the feel of and (parts of) my experiences in different countries to which I have traveled.
Purpose:
To artfully recreate and share what I have experienced and learned through my travels.
Method:
I will use different poem styles (haiku, hymn, free, and others) to capture the feel of different countries and present them in a series.

Revised: Project - Mayhew submission
Title/Theme: The theme of my work(s) will be religious, specifically my mission. My mission has had a profound impact on my life and has given and continues to give me inspiration. I haven’t yet firmly decided on a title, but it will probably have something to do with my mission and/or the experiences I had.
Background/Description: I’ll be writing a series of poems. Some were written on my mission, some since I’ve been home and others are still floating around in my brain, waiting to be clothed in words. They will portray some of my experiences, feelings and some of the people I knew.
Focus/Scope: The focus, hopefully, will be the spiritual significance found in the profound spiritual moments that only happen on a mission. I think that most of the collection will recount experiences, thoughts or people that changed/impacted me in some way.
Genre/Style: I’ll be experimenting/playing with several different types of poetry. I hope to use several different styles of poetry that I haven’t used very much before.
Justification/ Delimitations: Each poem will in some way have to do with my mission. I will probably submit several smaller poems, unless of course, in the process of writing the smaller ones I’m blessed with some great epiphany birthing a phenomenal longer poem that’s like nothing else I’ve ever written before. If that should happen, I’ll submit it.
