Last Lecture

I am amazed at students who in the short four years here become known, popular, but it is not from any professors or Greek life. It is from their work to be known. They place themselves out there in the vulnerable spaces of students, of peer educators, of making connections with professors. We crave these connections, yet know not every student will connect. There is only so much time. Yes, these superstars somehow connect, plan the time to do the work, often work here on campus. It only takes four years to put in the work for further freedom. It was an opportunity I didn't realize I had, but am saying this to you now, to those students who are in college--find any way to embrace this time here! Quit your fast food job. Seriously, put in applications here, talk to people, find some other way to earn money. Students tell me they already have bills, and I understand that. I mourn that part of my life that I didn't live. I hope you can embrace your living, wherever it gives an opportunity to.

If the person you are dating does not support your being in college, it's time to date someone new.

Last Lecture

I have had to always manage my mental health. Many don't know my story, but know who I am through my work at Washburn. They might be shocked to know what I've survived. But likewise, many are at Washburn who have yet to face a lot of cruelty, hard decisions, things they might have never known they would need to face. I read an article about how optimism helps with resiliency, and that fits my story well. Maybe my smile was developed to hide my pain when I could, or to go through the motions that everything is okay. I can say it is genuine today, but it took a lot of hard work, a lot of breaking my own stigmas about myself placed there by others and me. So do it, develop an optimism that is contagious. Even if it feels fake, it won't take long to feel the benefits, that the best response to negative forces is to reflect and stay optimistic. It is one of the few things one has control of in their life.

At the Movies Yearbook

I've found the best way to work on these poems are to handwrite them--to track changes, to play with words and ideas. I am using my journal to finish the work, but I also updated my file to use the three chosen movies for each year, to narrow it down.

In my journal I have laid out the remaining years I need to write. I find it easier to read in a voice-to-text to messenger, then copy over to the file to revise and finish.

So that Historical Society sent an email:

Good morning Dennis,

Thank you for your interest in our collections. I’d like to refer you to our https://www.kshs.org/p/permission-and-use-fees/17337Use & Permissions page and our Fees page.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

So the least amount to pay would be $40 per image.  And that is pending permission.

I have found my relief in this lawyer's analysis of the law:

https://hamptonsarthub.com/2018/05/16/features-creativity-the-law-collage-and-fair-use-under-the-copyright-laws/

So I have a creative reason to use the work, the work must be transformative, and I can't use the whole work.

That fits my intent exactly!

So maybe someone is combing through this to see if I was aware of copyrighted material and should be penalized? I say, I am aware, and I have a creative reason to use the work, the work is transformative, and I didn't use the whole work.

The last thing I would like to say is, because of this, I was inspired to turn to the books at Mabee Library. Using the collection of Kansas-based books, I have images at my disposal. I took pictures of a few: Maps of Kansas, Newspapers of Kansas, How the Body Works (Golden Book).

This project will require several trips to Mabee--something to squeeze into my schedule. I am here, after all.

Poetry Collections by one author will be evaluated on how they fit the theme of “new” as well as creativity, risk, & craftmanship as a hybrid poetry book. 

Yes, this is new, this is real, believe scientists. Topeka vs. Darwin, education at war with itself, won't you believe that?
