I have published two books, Nelson Algren: A Collection of Critical Essays (Fairliegh Dickinson University Press) and Understanding James Leo Herlihy (University of South Carolina Press). I have also published essays and chapters in several peer-reviewed scholarly volumes, including the Journal of Black Mountain College Studies, The Idea of the City (Cambridge Scholars), The Anacronist: Journal of English and American Studies (Eötvös Loránd University), EAPSU: A Journal of Critical and Creative Work, (Pennsylvania State University) the Encyclopedia of the Romantic Era (Routledge), Lifewriting Annual: Biographical and Autobiographical Studies (AMS Press), and Resources for American Literary Study (Penn State University Press). I organized the first international conference on Nelson Algren, which took place at the University of Leeds in 2000, attracting scholars from the US, UK, Japan, France, and New Zealand.
I am currently working on three articles. The first is on revision in writing in relation to craft theory, which is forthcoming (2023) as a chapter in Moving Words: Multimodal and Digital Creative Writing Pedagogies (Lexington Books/Rowman & Littlefield). The second is on the poet and potter MC Richards. The third is a creative piece on hummingbirds. I have given talks on these and other subjects at various conferences in the US, including North Carolina, New York, and Boston - and in Europe, including Groningen, Lancaster, Swansea, and Aberystwyth. I am currently the Reviews Editor for the journal Lifewriting Annual: Biographical and Autobiographical Studies, which is published by the University of London, Birkbeck
