Professional Statement

I arrived at U.C. Berkeley in the fall of 2006 after finishing my Ph.D. at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. I am currently working on a study of Irish poetry since the 1970s. My specific interests are in the history of the Irish poetic tradition, the mediations between Irish poetry and Irish history, and the cultural figure of the poet in Ireland. More generally, I tend to gravitate toward post-World War II poetry in English. I am a close reader at heart and am fascinated by the structures and shapes—sonic, compositional, architectural—of contemporary poetry.
