In this brave and lyrically composed tribute to her mother, Minrose Gwin accomplishes something rare in the craft of the memoir: not merely a record of a devastating mother-daughter relationship but a redemptive act of artistic witness as well. In telling the story of her mentally ill poet mother, Erin Taylor Clayton Pitner, Gwin looks backward and forward at a southern family, linking personal and cultural malaise while also attempting to envision the person her mother longed to be, the woman Gwin never knew.Erin Taylor wasn’t always crazy. Her childhood diary from 1930 reveals a cheerful,

The goal of this dissertation is to provide a detailed investigation into the physiologic and symptomatic responses following an intervention of discontinuous normobaric hypoxia, which employs portable chambers. To accomplish this, an intermittent protocol was developed which cycled between 8 hrs of nocturnal hypoxia at a simulated altitude of 4300m, followed by 16 hrs of normoxia, for five consecutive days. Specifically, it is not currently known if cerebrovascular and ventilatory sensitivities to acute hypoxia are altered, or if altitude-like symptoms develop, in response to such an intermit
