Scholarly books I authored include: "Reading Buchi Emecheta: Cross-Cultural Conversations" and "The Problem of Embodiment in Early African American Narrative." In my retirement I have become a full-time poet ("The Dead Are So Disappointing," MSU Press, 2000)and independent artist (my 2005 installation, "The Question Concerning Technology," combined my art and poetry and my knowledge of philosophy, ecology and the physical sciences). I have participated in writers' workshops, been visiting poet at Hendrix College (Conway, Arkansas), and won the "Florida Review's" 2001 editors' award in poetry.
