Description / Abstract
It all began with an in class writing exercise. “Today, I want you all to write an elegy for your favorite celebrity,” my professor challenged. Immediately, my mind went to big names like Eleanor Roosevelt, Frank Sinatra, Angelina Jolie, and Morrissey. But as I thought about what I would say for them, I felt as though my opinions would drown amidst the common feelings surrounding such individuals. Sure, I could have tried to be innovative and highlight easily overlooked aspects of these large personalities, but that just was not enough.
I did not want to write about someone that people have mixed feelings for either, I wanted to shock the six members of my audience; I wanted my classmates to be entirely confused and possibly disturbed with my selection. Why my mind wandered down the dark path of historically plagued persons? I have no idea. But the internal pressure to be different was too high, so I began to write “To Adolf, From Eva,” the very first poem in my soon-to-be collection about those who have been hated by history.
