My research focuses on modern and contemporary poetry. My current project examines the dynamic between twentieth-century poetry and the emergence of an independent Irish state. My article ‘The Case for Irish Modernism: Denis Devlin at the League of Nations and 1930s International Broadcasting’ is forthcoming in Modernism/modernity (Spring 2021). My writing on poetry has appeared in The Cambridge Quarterly, English, Études Anglaises, as well as several edited collections. I recently contributed the Foreword to Martin Bell Translates Robert Desnos. I am the contributing reviewer for the Modern Irish Poetry section of Year’s Work in English Studies. I have given public readings, lectures, and talks at the Ilkley Festival, READ Salon (Durham), Trinity College Dublin, and This Irish American Life (NYU Glucksman House podcast). My poetry pamphlet And Now They Range was published by Guillemot Press in 2016 and reviewed in The Fortnightly Review and PN Review, and my poems have appeared in Agenda, Blackbox Manifold, Poetry, and Stand. I welcome proposals for postgraduate work in any area of modern and contemporary poetry, particularly modernism, post-war U.S., British and Irish poetry, and poetry and theology. Before joining Maynooth, I was a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Leeds. I held a Fulbright scholarship at Georgetown University, and I completed my doctorate at the University of York.
