- Welcome! A few years ago, I discovered an application that artists employ in their works to bring cultural awareness to their audiences. Having discerned this semiotic theory that applies to literature, music, art, film, and the media, I have devoted the blog,Theory of Iconic Realism to explore this theory. The link to the publisher of my book is below. If you or your university would like a copy of this book for your library or if you would like to review it for a scholarly journal, please contact the Edwin Mellen Press at the link listed below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Reading Sydney Owenson
However, the language, which she used to deliver her message to the British aristocracy, determined the success of her National novels, as James Newcomer observes, “a noticeable love of the flamboyant, in language as in the process of living, was to characterize her writing and living”(28). Thus, another effective way to study Owenson’s skillful use of language is to analyze her technique by looking at her linguistic structures in relationship to her cultural background.

Abiding Love and a Spring Day
What happens after a Spring thunderstorm can be a true Blessing.
Abiding Love and a Day in Spring
I looked out my window one morning after a storm
and discovered something sparkling and not the norm.
It seemed to be smiling, perhaps winking at me,
the sun's reflection breaking forth from the clouds.
Perhaps, 'twas a raindrop on a holly leaf there,
knowing that I would see it and share.
A bird sang nearby as if begging me to hear
its song, so perfectly lovely and clear,
so I opened the window and felt the fresh air
rid my lungs of the stuffiness I beheld within,
and let the blood flowing beneath my skin
open my heart to Love: abiding, embracing me,
as I cherish each moment from this through eternity.
