Keynote Lecture at Middle Georgia State College's "Beyond the Margins" Conference.
I am an Associate Professor of English at New York Institute of Technology. Previously, I held a Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Georgia Institute of Technology, the N.E.H. Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Poetics at Emory University's Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry, and taught at Agnes Scott College. I received my Ph.D. in English from the University of Washington and my B.A. in English from Colgate University. My research and teaching interests include twentieth century literature, Anglo-American modernism, poetry and poetics, transnational literature, literary archives, composition, and the digital humanities.
My book, Annotating Modernism: Marginalia and Pedagogy from Virginia Woolf to the Confessional Poets (Routledge, under contract), addresses writers' reading of modernism before and after the Second World War by analyzing writers' personal copies of modernist texts, student notes, and teaching materials. I discussed this project with Dr Dennis Duncan for his Paratexts Podcast series at Oxford University's Bodleian Library. You can listen to the podcast here.

I have edited a peer reviewed cluster on Feminist Modernist Digital Humanities for the journal Feminist Modernist Studies and the collection, This Business of Words:
Reassessing Anne Sexton (UP of Florida, 2016, 2018 in paperback). For Sexton, becoming a successful poet meant skillfully approaching various forms of media and developing strategies for teaching, critiquing poems, delivering poetry readings, and giving interviews. The five poets and five critics in This Business of Words examine Sexton’s industry and her industriousness. This volume considers the development of Sexton’s aesthetic, her reception, and the allure of her poetry in the twenty-first century.
