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!

Thank you for visiting. I hope you will find the information insightful. ~ Dr. Jeanne Iris

Inauguration Poetry: Revolution


My poem remembers the Inauguration of President Barack Obama, President Joe Biden, and after 8 years of them trying to rip apart the country that voted them in, the election of President Donald John Trump:

Revolution, 2009, 2013, 2021
Historical moments,
meiosis of human spirit,
evolve into prospects,
for rebellion to split open 
the festering wound of ignorance,
bleed with hastening progress 
in anticipation
of a conscious 'woke-ness.'
"I plan to make fundamental changes."


Revolution, 2017, 2025
Historical moments,
meiosis of human spirit,
evolve into prospects
for rebellion to split open 
the festering wound of ignorance,
and bleed with confidence and truth
in anticipation 
of a conscious awakening:
"Make America Great Again!"
