520 |a "In "Wild Kingdom," Jehanne Dubrow explores the world of academia, examining this strange landscape populated by faculty, administrators, and students. Using what she calls "received academic forms," Dubrow crafts poems that mimic the language of academic documents such as syllabi, grading rubrics, and departmental minutes. "Honor Board Hearing," a series of prose poems, draws on the seven years she served on a college honor board to depict challenges frequently faced by undergraduates, offering fictionalized accounts of cases involving plagiarism, theft, sexual assault, and substance abuse. As a rejoinder to the famous dictum that "Academic politics is the most vicious and bitter form of politics, because the stakes are so low," Dubrow maintains that, given the current moment, the stakes could not be higher. Even as it acknowledges the cruelty that may exist within the academy, "Wild Kingdom" asks how scholars and educators can work to ensure that institutions of higher learning continue to nurture students and remain places of open-minded critical thinking"--  |c Provided by publisher.
