Teaching

I count myself lucky to have had the opportunity to study with great teachers of poetry, including Al Filreis, who is famous for his Modern & Contemporary American Poetry MOOC and his seminars, and Charles Bernstein, whose courses and wreading experiments I model my own after. Below are some of the courses I am teaching, have taught, and TA’d for.

My approach to teaching is to focus on the hands-on use of audio materials (including recording podcasts, remixing/deforming/collaging/montaging recordings).

Machine-Aided Close Listening



Check out the prototypes of these tools for Machine-Aided Close Listening, a reading-listening methodology that seeks to align the visual forms of poems with their sonic forms. Article on this topic forthcoming in Digital Humanities Quarterly. These tools were developed with Reuben Wetherbee and my research assitant Zoe Stoller.

* Robert Creeley's "I Know a Man"
* Robert Frost's "Mending Wall"
* Comparative tool for William Carlos Williams' "To Elsie"
