Poetry and Poetics

Schey

A specialist in British Romanticism, I work at the intersection of poetics and critical theory, with a particular interest in how literary language both registers and participates in the historical production of race. My current book project, The Rhetoric of Racialization: British Romanticism and Everyday Antiblackness, elucidates the quotidian figural operations that consolidated logics of antiblackness in the early nineteenth century.

Interests 
 
I am a poet and scholar. In both areas, my work centers the epistemological potential of poetic language, with a particular interest in the relationship between poetry and ethics.

My research and academic interests span American literature and culture of the mid-nineteenth century to the early-twentieth century. I’m particularly interested in intersections between American and Russian literatures, spaces, and people, and I usually engage these literary and geographic intersections through transnational, eco-materialist, and archipelagic frameworks.

BIO:
 

Bennington

My current research interests lie at an intersection between labor, ecology, gender, and physical embodiment. My dissertation, as yet untitled, focuses on the ways in which masculinities are constructed, tested, and imprinted on the environment in the poetry of Robert Frost, Seamus Heaney, and James Wright. I am also a poet and a memoirist.

My research centers the theory and history of the nineteenth-century British novel: most recently, the ways midcentury novels change at the hands of earlier-century lyric forms. I’m increasingly drawn to the interstices of realism, the everyday, and address, but at the heart of my work is a sustained preoccupation with aesthetic forms and their collisions over time. I am currently completing my Ph.D. in English Language & Literature at the University of Virginia (expected graduation 2023), and I received my B.A.
