Hello! I suppose an introduction is overdue.

I have a Ph.D. in Rhetoric and currently work as an assistant professor, which means I spend a rather unreasonable amount of my life thinking about language. Outside the classroom, I am a literary critic and an obsessive reader. I love fiction, poetry, essays, strange experiments, and so on. I also write, which means I am painfully aware that giving criticism is much easier than receiving it. Perhaps that is part of why I enjoy both.

Anyway... hello. Send me something interesting to read. :)

You might want to open a Will Review For Food thread then? :3

Also impressive CV!
“Are you serious?”
“Completely.”
“You’re telling me that you'll get to sleep on a king-sized bed while we have to share a tiny room with two bunk beds.”
“I want to sleep on top!”
“Tommy, you’re not helping.”



I only know that learning to believe in the power of my own words has been the most freeing experience of my life. It has brought me the most light. And isn't that what a poem is? A lantern glowing in the dark.
