We are dealing with an English professor here so it most likely happened.

Surprised?

“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.

My last chapbook, Hiking the Maze (Finishing Line, 2009), uses the setting of the Maze District of Canyonlands National Park, Utah to explore both the origins of and the maze-like ambiguities of language through a speaker who achieves an ecstatic paralinguistic experience.

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.”

This is what your kids are dropping 20K/year for?!

Speaking of English professor, the commercial on college basketball is a scream! The mother is being dropped off at a Buffalo Wild Wings and the two kids in the back seat are telling her they’ll miss her. The boy says his stomach hurts already. The little girl says “why can’t we watch basketball too?” That’s when the little boy says, “we don’t get to, dads an art major!” LOl Funny as all heck. But of course I live in crazy Indiana. College basket time is the biggest highlight of our year!
