A literal transcription of letters is a conceit that pleases

Bio

Read my VisualDNA™ Get your own VisualDNA™

I am a grad student in a literature program (finishing my MA in May and starting my PhD in August). My area of interest, research wise, is modern American poetry, specifically themes of mental illness, recovery, and trauma (with emphasis on how these themes are both expressed and used as creative impetus in the act of writing). My sub-interests include film and contemporary art, which I am trying to find a way to work into my eventual dissertation topic.

I also (in my non-academic time) have worked, for five years, at a 24 hour emergency/critical care veterinary hospital. In another life, where I took a slightly different path, I would have gone to veterinary school.

I enjoy not feeling guilty about the reading I'm not doing, reading things I'm not supposed to be reading, Indian food, sushi, sleep, and acceptance letters.
