Biography

I have recently completed my PhD (1 March 2024).

My PhD thesis focused on the long line in American poetry. It reappraises an underground American poetics premised on the long line, an alternative formal tradition which was initiated by Walt Whitman, resurrected by William Carlos Williams and other poets, and repurposed by Allen Ginsberg. It further illustrated how the long line is charged with spiritual and social meaning, employing close reading and theories from cognitive poetics. My research was funded by the Irish Research Council.
