Much of my teaching involves my areas of major interest in creative writing
and modern and contemporary poetry. Pursuant to the latter categories, I have
published profiles and interviews with such major contemporary figures as
Gwendolyn Brooks, Hayden Carruth, Miroslav Holub, and W.D. Snodgrass.
I have also published criticism on Robert Frost, William Carlos Williams, and others.
