About meI've lived in Minnesota since 1990, except for one academic year (2006-2007) spent in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England. I have a Ph.D. in classics from Brown University, and I occasionally teach Latin. But mostly, I'm a writer. My poetry chapbook, The Collecting Jar, won the 2004 Grayson Books Poetry Chapbook Competition, and a selection of my poetry was included in the anthology 33 Minnesota Poets. I've also published essays and short stories in The New England Review, Pleiades, and elsewhere. My wife is a classics professor. We have two sons.

My profile picture is of me reading Wordsworth beside Grasmere (June 2007).

About my libraryI read mostly novels by women (e.g., Virago Modern Classics and Persephone Books) and books about American history. The books catalogued here still only represent a small fraction of the books in my house.

Hi Rob

Just stopped by your blog and tried to leave a comment but since I upgraded to Chrome all my settings seem to be messed up. Anyway, just wanted to say:

Do you think Hilda was a proto-twitterer? I have really enjoyed your last two posts, particularly apposite here in the UK at the moment.

Hope all is well?

Best wishes, Louise
Hi, Rob -- just wanted to say, fan of Kate O'Brien that I am, that to me your Secret Santa present, The Ante-Room, is O'Brien's best-written book, and if you haven't already read it, I hope you enjoy it. Some folks disagree with that assessment of her novels, but I feel it's her tightest, most evocative writing, and the book inspired me to write a thesis about her, and not James Joyce, way back in college days.

Anyway, enjoy -- all the best -- Jen
