Education
 Teaching Interest
My main areas of interest are in Creative Writing and Composition.  However, I would love teaching literature and poetry classes at the survey level and beyond.

I focus mainly on my poetry, though I have written one novel and am working on a second one.  I present academic papers focusing on poetry and the craft of writing, as well as thematic papers on the composition classroom.  I have written and published three book reviews.
