About
I’m a writer and Assistant Professor of American literature and cultural studies. My work focuses on the intersection of poetry and poetics, US minority literatures, new media, and theories of the public sphere.
My current book project, Containing Multitudes: The Social Logic of Lyric in the Mass Public Sphere, explores the ways minoritized poets revolutionized public discourse for the age of new mass media. The book is in contract with University of Iowa Press’s Contemporary North American Poetry Series︎︎︎. More information can be found here︎︎︎. Articles relating to this research have been published in Criticism, Textual Practice, and African American Review.
I received my PhD in English from New York University and my MFA in Creative Writing from CUNY Brooklyn College. My books include Someone Like You (Gauss PDF, 2017), Simple Location (above/ground, 2023), and Executive Orders (punctum books, 2025). My critical and creative writings have also appeared in Chicago Review, African American Review, Criticism, Textual Practice, Boston Review, Prelude, The Brooklyn Rail, The Distance Plan, Urban Omnibus, Supermachine, and elsewhere. I’ve been a Writer-in-Residence at Millay Arts and Yaddo, and I serve as a editor and emeritus director of the multi-sited poetics working group and small press, the Organism for Poetic Research︎︎︎. Since 2012, I’ve taught courses on literature, critical theory, media studies, environmental justice, and creative writing on the campuses of Bard College, New York University, CUNY Brooklyn College, and CUNY Queens College.
