About
I am a Fellow of the English Association, and President of the Robert Graves Society. My role at Sheffield Hallam University is Head of the Department of Culture and Media.
I work on British and American poetry, and the interrelationships between music and literature. My edition of Robert Graves's War Poems was published by Seren in 2016.
I welcome applications from PhD students on Ezra Pound, Robert Graves, twentieth-century British and American poetry, war poetry, relationships between literature and music; and twentieth-century Welsh poetry written in English.
