About
I received my BA and MA in English from a private liberal arts university in South Carolina, and participated in the Summer Programme in English Literature at the University of Oxford in 2000. I have been involved with the T S Eliot Society since 2002, and in 2004 received the society's Fathman Young Scholars Award. My PhD is from the University of St Andrews, where I studied under renowned poet and scholar Robert Crawford.
I have presented work at the T S Eliot, Dante and The European Tradition symposium (Firenze), at George Herbert's Travels (UNC Greensboro) and at T S Eliot's Visions & Revisions (St Andrews). Currently I am Lecturer in Contemporary Literature at Clemson University, while also working as a Content Strategist for a web development firm based in South Carolina.
My research interests include contemporary poetry and fiction, film theory and criticism, the nature of literary technique, and the relationship between literature and belief. My PhD thesis is entitled 'T S Eliot among the Metaphysicals', and it explores Eliot's conflicted, evolving relationship with the metaphysical poets of the seventeenth century. My goal is to turn this into a book during 2011.
