About Me
After I received my PhD from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, in 1983, I taught for four years at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. I joined the Widener faculty in 1987. In teaching I try to be student-centered, create good class discussions, and help students write more clearly and effectively. I enjoy getting to know my students.
Research Interests
I'm a poet, so my interests center on poetry, though not exclusively. I am interested in LGBTQ literature and nonwestern world literature too.
