Greetings!  I am a PhD candidate in Comparative Literature at Brown University (to be completed June 2026).  

My research interests include:

• 20th century American and British modernism and alternative poetry movements / groups since 1945 (e.g. Black Mountain College, International Concrete Poetry, Berkeley and San Francisco Renaissance, New York Schools) and its relation to the institutionalization of the avant-garde;

• textual-editorial and bibliographical studies;

• outsider poetry post-1945;

• classical reception;

• the esoteric in literature from Archaic Greece to our present day;

• ancient performance of Pindar’s ἐπινίκια;

• theories of ἐνάργεια and ekphrasis;

• Hellenistic epigram;

• theories of translation;

• theories and practices of poetic meter;

• myth;

• poetry, jazz, and film in the Black Arts Movement (1960s–70s), especially in relation to French New Wave Cinema.
