Professional Summary
I am a transnational poet, translator, and essayist with abiding interests in longform poetics; lyric theory; translation studies; global avant-gardes; the poetry of philosophy; the sentence; literatures of witness; docu- and eco-poetics; multilingual and exophonic writing; and procedural composition. I read across time periods but my research and courses tend to focus on post-1945 US and Anglophone transnational literatures. Pronouns: she/her.
