My current research explores the sociability of lyric poetry using models found at the intersection of poetry and visual art. I seek answers to questions of attention, immersion, and imagination within the formal aspects of poetry.
Areas of particular interest include proprioception, vanishing points, deixis, lyric address, and the position of the reader in relation to the poem as material object and as scene of encounter.
