Welcome!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As part of my education, I obtained graduate degrees in English at the Universities of M\u00fcnster and Virginia. I taught in the United States as a graduate assistant (University of Virginia 1986-1991), as assistant and associate Professor (Drury University 1991-2000), and as associate and full Professor (University of North Georgia 2000-2006). From 2006 to 2025, I served as Professor of American Literature at the University of Fribourg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My scholarly interests include studies of poetry and poetics, 20th- and 21st-century literature (especially Modernism and contemporary texts), the American South and West, music and literature, and memoir. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
