dc.description.abstract	Andrew Hudgins makes frequent use of both sacred and profane imagery and language. By inverting the sacred and profane, Hudgins renders traditional Protestant Christianity into a language palatable to the Postmodern aesthetic. A close examination of three of Hudgins' poems, "Praying Drunk," "Piss Christ," and "When the Weak Lamb Dies" demonstrates Hudgins frequent use of inversion and Christian metaphor. A concluding chapter links Hudgins' style of inversion to the Postmodern aesthetic through a brief examination of parallels between Hudgins' work and criticism by Jacques Derrida and Charles Altieri.	en_US
