Born in southern New Jersey in 1965, I moved to California with my family in the mid-1970s, living in Vista, Huntington Beach, and Hillcrest before returning east in 1989 with my partner the poet Jennifer Moxley. I received my BA from the University of California at San Diego in 1988 and my PhD from Brown in 2000.
I joined the English Department faculty at the University of Maine as an assistant professor in 1999 and received tenure in 2005. I have coordinated the New Writing Series since 1999 and also served as coordinator for the undergraduate studies program in English from fall of 2004 to spring of 2006. I am currently Graduate Coordinator for the department.
My research and teaching focuses on contemporary poetry and poetics, critical theory, modernism, and the avant-garde.
