Doctoral Research: My DPhil thesis examines how modernist women poets perceive, generate, and communicate meaning in emergent environments. In addition to Hope Mirrlees' Paris: A Poem (1920), I will also consider Mina Loy's Songs to Joannes (1917) and Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons (1914). Other writers I consider in relation to this project include Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, T.S. Eliot, and Virginia Woolf—all of whom have featured prominently in my previous research.
Publications: 'Faith and Fabrication in To the Lighthouse: Virginia Woolf's Table-Cloth(s)', Journal of Modern Literature (forthcoming in 2022)
Research Interests: modernism; modernist poetry; feminism; embodiment; phenomenology; perception; philosophy of science; ecocriticism; evolutionary emergence
