NEBO: A Literary Journal
Abstract
This special issue of Nebo: A Literary Journal, titled "Daedalus Meets Elvis," was produced by the Creative Writing Program at Arkansas Tech University and presents a dynamic fusion of poetry and fiction that blends myth, surrealism, and cultural reflection. Originally archived as Volume 14, Issue 1, this issue was published in 1999 as a special creative writing edition. Due to necessary metadata adjustments in the digital archiving process, some volume and issue numbers in the online collection may not match those printed in the original journals.
This unique collection features works that reimagine classical and modern figures, with standout pieces such as "Achilles in a Country Western Bar" by Paul Crenshaw, which cleverly transposes mythological heroes into contemporary settings, and "Zelma Meets Elvis" by Sharon Baker, a humorous and poignant narrative on obsession and fame. The poetry selections incorporate modernist and experimental techniques, with titles like "Nickel" by Paul Crenshaw and "Image is Everything" by Mary Goff delving into the complexities of identity and societal perception.
This issue serves as a celebration of creative exploration, highlighting the innovative literary voices emerging from Arkansas Tech University’s Creative Writing Program.
