About Me

An Assistant Professor of English and a poet. I've been doing the latter longer than the former, so I don't cringe when I say it.

Why do you write?

I write to be around language and read to listen to others' language.

Any favorite authors? Books?

William Faulkner--Sound and the Fury, Absalom, Absalom
Leslie Silko--Ceremony, Almanac of the Dead
Mark Twain, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Annie Dillard--The Maytrees

Poets--James Wright, William Stafford, Gary Snyder, Robert Creely, Frank O'Hara, Elizabeth Bishop, John Ashberry, James Dickey

et. al.

I appreciate the notion/practice of being 'around language' -- that's a true/honest spring for the poetic faculty.
