| Introduction | I am a writer. My special interests are in speculative poetry and fiction across the several genres of Weird, Supernatural, Horror, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Detection, and Adventure. My poetry is, almost exclusively, traditional and formal rhymed and metered verse. I reject the notion that there is a "New Formalism," since I don't believe the "old" kind ever died. A retired professor of college English, Creative Writing, and Journalism, I have published poetry, fiction, and scholarly research in a number of journals, magazines, and anthologies.. I selected, edited, introduced, and did commentary for my ROBERT E. HOWARD: SELECTED POEMS. Interested in Stylometric Analysis and Formalism and in Rhetorical and Symbolic Criticism specifically. |
