Recent CV

Hello, webfarer. The links on the right will take you to some of my projects; if you find that a link is inactive, but you are terribly curious to see what you think lies beyond it, let me know and I'll try to be of some help.

I contribute (sometimes under the nom-de-pixel 'CivilizeMe') to several blogs, including HoochieWoman, the Boston Atheists blog, Prose of the Day, Boston Translation, and LITRO. I regularly read The Wooden Spoon.

My interests include poetry and poetics; long form and national epic verse; translation; philosophy of atheism and epistemology; cognition and literary phenomenology; and skepticism and ethics. When not reading, writing, or editing, I enjoy cooking, camping, and conversation. I do spend a lot of time editing, though; I am the editor or an editor of several publications, including Sixty-Six, The Journal of Sonnet Studies; Hawk & Whippoorwill; The Charles River Journal; Pusteblume; and Fulcrum. I have in the past worked for News from the Republic of Letters, which continues to be one of the finest literary publications I know. Persons interested in my recommendations for reading will be rewarded by investigating The Warwick Review, The Critical Flame and Literary Imagination.

I am a member of the American Literary Translators Association, the Association of Literary Scholars, Critics, and Writers, and American Atheists. As frequently as I am able, I join the members of Urban Nature Walk in their green space excursions around Boston.

As for amusement, I enjoy the Stray Sheep deskmate (pictured here; download it from my site if you can't find it elsewhere), the sonnet, and Big Buck Hunter.
