Biography
I am a PhD and MFA candidate. My research interests include contemporary poetry and poetics, American literature, genre theory, affect theory, feminist and queer theory, aesthetics, creative writing, visual art and book art. My dissertation focuses on contemporary American poetry that repurposes historical American documents. My MFA thesis focuses on the intersection of poetry and textiles, with a particular interest in chronic pain and tactility.
My teaching experience includes creative writing, literature, art history and writing composition. Course content has included poetic forms, gothic horror, ghosts and "hauntology," genre theory, affect and semiotics.
My own poetry can be found or is forthcoming in Cherry Tree, Permafrost, Ekphrasis Magazine and the Ekphrastic Review, and my poetry reviews in 32 Poems and Bone Bouquet.
