PHOTO: A beautiful campus image!My office is in the English Department, located in the historic the Old Mill building (whose cornerstone was laid by the Marquis de Lafayette), which is pictured here.  My office number is 401 Old Mill.  My phone number is (802) 656-4040.

A Professor of English at the University of Vermont, I am also Chair of the English Department.  I teach courses in poetry -- Nineteenth Century American Poetry, Modern American Poetry, Contemporary American Poetry, Poetry in Translation -- and also specialized courses, also in poetry, such as Romanticism and the Self: Wordsworth and Whitman, and The Poetry of Witness.

In recent years, I have lectured widely on American poetry and also on American politics.  I have spent several weeks lecturing in each of the following countries:
            Egypt
            India
            Lithuania
            Portugal
            Tunisia

My most recent book is entitled Outsider in the House, a political memoir which I co-authored with Rep. Bernie Sanders, the Member of Congress from Vermont and the only Independent in the U. S. House of Representatives.  I am also the author of three other books: Mankind in Barbary: The Individual and Society in the Novels of Norman Mailer, Technologies of the Self: A Seminar with Michel Foucault (edited with my friends Luther Martin and Patrick Hutton), and As Others Read Us: International Perspectives on American Literature. Outsider and  Technologies are both available from Amazon.com while the others are available from Powell's Books .
