    The Saturn and Sphinx Moths of the Upper Midwest
    (Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2018-01) Mader, Nathan James; Purdham, Medrie; Battis, Jesse; Trussler, Michael; Moritz, Albert F.
    The Saturn and Sphinx Moths of the Upper Midwest is a collection of original Metaphysical lyric poems. While its subjects and themes are various, the collection reflects the continuing relevance of the techniques and characteristics most readily associated with the seventeenth-century Metaphysical poets, but which in truth can be found throughout the history of lyric poetry to the present day. The poems in The Saturn and Sphinx Moths, with a few variations, follow a trajectory from poems rooted in memory and experience to poems engaged with the ineffable and the spiritual.
