“Hello, and thanks for stopping by my site. Let me introduce you to my work.
My new collection, Self-Portrait as Bettie Page (Barefoot Muse, 2013), is a sonnet sequence that negotiates the relationship between formal poetics, bondage/discipline, and female identity through the figure of elusive 1950s pinup Bettie Page, whose own identity was a series of costumes.
I recently completed a poetry manuscript, Maternal Imagination, which represents the female perspective on the monstrous body, since so many of the texts attribute fault to the mother: her imagination, accusations of sex with demons or animals, and even contemporary issues like thalidomide. I am also expanding into translation and creative nonfiction, and it’s both scary and exciting to flex new writing muscles.”

“Body issues (the corpse, deformity, bondage/discipline)”

Good searching!
That woman is truly a sick person and I certainly would allow a kid of mine to take any course she taught.
Why do regents at Colleges/Univ’s. even consider hiring people like this?
Spounds like she spent some time in Indiana. And then, it seems, they kicked her out and she was exiled to the Sunny climed of North Dakota.
I wonder what she thinks of the USAF presence there....
