Teaching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I teach classes in creative writing and poetics, literature and other arts, and cultural studies. In many of my courses, I emphasize poetics, or why we write how we write. In general, I place a strong emphasis on how something occurs. By understanding, for example, how an essay or poem is constructed or how in the twentieth century the concept of sexuality emerges at the same time as do many new specialized academic disciplines, we are better positioned to understand and to intervene in our existence. Each of us comes into our lives through different historical junctures, inheriting a diverse and sometimes conflicting array of cultural beliefs, ideas, and practices. I hope to help students learn how to participate more actively in the very make-up of their lives\u2014in its furtherance and alteration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research\/Scholarship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My research has evolved through my two primary commitments–to engage in experimental writing and in scholarly inquiry. I recently published the book Transmutation of Love and Avant-Garde Poetics <\/em>with the Modern and Contemporary Poetics series at the University of Alabama Press.  足彩app哪个是正规的 Transmutation of Love and Avant-Garde Poetics <\/em>is a probing examination of how the writing of sexual love undergoes a radical revision by avant-garde poets in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Today, the exploration of love by poets\u2014long a fixture of Western poetic tradition\u2014is thought to be in decline, with love itself understood to be a mere ideological overlay for the more \u201creal\u201d entities of physical sex and desire. In 足彩app哪个是正规的 Transmutation of Love and Avant-Garde Poetics, <\/em>I claim that a key achievement of poetry by Ezra Pound, H.D., Robert Duncan, Kathleen Fraser, Nathaniel Mackey, and others lies significantly in their engagement with the synergistic relations between being in love and writing love. 足彩app哪个是正规的se poets, I argue, have traded the clich\u00e9d lover of yore for impersonal or posthuman poetic speakers that sustain the gloire <\/em>and mystery of love poetry of prior centuries. I have edited two books of essays, Nathaniel Mackey, Destination Out: Essays on his Work, <\/em>and Inciting Poetics: Thinking and Writing Poetry<\/em>, co-edited with Tyrone Williams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my creative writing, I seek to engage oblique aspects of existence and to alter conventional understanding.  My first published full-length book of creative writing, Incapacity<\/em>\u2014a cross genre work of autobiography, biography, fiction, and poetry\u2014received a book of the year award in 2004 from Small Press Traffic. Rachel Blau DuPlessis commented about this book:  \u201cHow many facets has event?  What is at stake in need?  What is authorship? Where do the powerful directives of negativity lead?  Engaging the potential of post-patriarchal narrative and subjectivity, yet inside women\u2019s dilemmas in our time, Jeanne Heuving writes a saturated, paradoxical, pensive and intense book on transformative seismic events and on misty envelopments that link inside and out like a moebius loop<\/em>.\u201d  My second book, Transducer<\/em>, a book of experimental poetry, was described by the poet Andrew Joron as a \u201ctrance inducer.  Watching its petals fall, I am hypnotized into hearing frequencies audible only to the blind<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a participant in an extended international innovative writing scene, I have worked on diverse editing projects, read my work in multiple national and international venues, and curated and produced reading series. At the University of Washington Bothell, I founded and served as the first director of the MFA in Creative Writing & Poetics. Outside of UW Bothell, I have served on the editorial advisory boards of HOW2 and Chax as well as within the Subtext Collective during the fifteen years that the Subtext Reading Series brought new writing from Seattle and elsewhere to the Seattle metropolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have received research grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Fulbright Foundation, UW Simpson Humanities Center, and Beinecke Library at Yale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
