TEACHING EXPERTISE
I teach in the Literature and Writing disciplines and I am extremely interested in the link between these two disciplines and the way in which they can work to inform one another.
Within these disciplines I am a specialist prose poetry, ekphrastic poetry, canonical literature as well as Japanese texts in translation, especially atomic bomb literature.
