Professional Career

I have moved through the ranks of the teaching profession from instructor to full professor to Regents Professor of Poetry at Saint John's to my new post at Saint Mary's College. I have been department chair, associate dean of the faculty (Saint Mary's College) and Vice President for Academic Affairs (1983-92) (Saint John's University). I have taught English literature for over 25 years. I have taught Shakespeare and Symposium (a seminar for first year students) annually since 1994. I have taught English 313 (Advanced Poetry Writing Seminar) and English 213 (Introductory Seminar in Lyric Poetry and Prose) and English 133 (Introduction to Literature) as needed. In 2005-2006, I taught a Master Class in the writing of poetry. At Saint Mary's, I teach a first year English course, Contemporary Poetry and a poetry writing seminar.

In the course of my academic career, I have been awarded an NEH summer stipend, two fellowships for NEH summer seminars, an ACE fellowship in academic administration, and a NEH year long fellowship for participation in a seminar in Shakespeare and Performance at the Folger Shakespeare Library. I have had almost annual support for research and writing from faculty development grants at CSB/SJU. I was also awarded a Lilly Heritage grant (Saint John's University).

I was a member of the Board of Trustees at Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame. I served
on the Board of Directors of Collegium, a national colloquy on faith and the intellectual life. I have been a mentor for the Collegium colloquy for ten summers.

Publications and Poetry Readings

I have written and published essays on liberal education, 16th century studies, and what for lack of another category I will call Catholic studies. My most recent published essay is "The Clothier's Yard: Church and the Imagination. An Essay in Prose Strophes" in As Leaven for the World, edited by Tom Landy (Paulist Press, 2001). An essay I gave in October 2003 at the University of Dayton on poetry and The Constitution on the Church in the Modern World will be published in a collection of essays sometime in the future.

I usually participate in poetry readings about three times a year. I have given poetry readings as asked, some in college and university settings, some in settings with other poets and writers, such as the Saratoga Springs Museum of Contemporary Art and Minneapolis College of Art and Design (sponsored by Water~Stone).

Link to a complete record of my published and forthcoming poetry.
