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!

“Completely.”

“I want to sleep on top!”
“Tommy, you’re not helping.”

Welcome to YWS! Glad you are here :)
Who's to say that my light is better than your darkness? Who's to say death is better than your darkness? Who am I to say?

I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.

Oh hey, it’s my favorite author. (Oh, apparently I already made this joke on your wall.)

Impressive CV! Nice to have you. I second Tikaya regarding a WRFF thread.

You, who have all the passion for life that I have not? You, who can love and hate with a violence impossible to me? Why you are as elemental as fire and wind and wild things...
