Invisible Terrain (OUP) by Stephen Ross |
I am an assistant professor with research and teaching interests in poetry/poetics, modern and contemporary transatlantic (US and UK) literature, and modernism. My monograph, Invisible Terrain: John Ashbery and the Aesthetics of Nature, was published in 2017 by Oxford University Press. I am co-editor with Dr. Alys Moody (Macquarie University) of Global Modernists on Modernism, a 190,000-word anthology of source texts, manifestos, essays, letters, and other statements by global modernist practitioners under contract in Bloomsbury’s “Modernist Archives” series. With Ariel Resnikoff (University of Pennsylvania) I am working toward the first complete translation and critical edition of Processions, the long-poem masterpiece of Yiddish American modernist Mikhl Likht (1893-1953). I have published widely on modern and contemporary literature—especially modernist and contemporary poetry and poetics—and am a founding editor of the literary web-journal Wave Composition.
