Research Interests: Michael's dissertation, The Poetry of Origins: Odes, Palinodes, and Literary History reevaluates the ode and its influence on the study of lyric poetry: "Whereas twentieth-century criticism has viewed the ode as a constitutive genre of Western literature, I show that its development is essentially modern. Examining the Atlantic context of the ode, I trace how this genre became a medium for allegories of colonial authority that relied upon a racialized sense of literary futurity. Inherently unstable, these efforts ran up against the genre of poetic recantation ("palinode"), which served as an anticipatory counterbalance to the progressive literary history encoded in the ode."

I was a professor in English, Humanities, and Comparative Studies depts. for 35 years and have published seven books with a co-author as well as many articles, traveled widely (two Fulbrights, five NEH summer seminars), and had a rewarding career. I urge students to learn languages and travel as much as possible during their studies! there will never be a better time. Follow your passion, but seek an academic career only if nothing else will satisfy you. It's a long, hard struggle, but ultimately rewarding--and a lifetime of working with students is energizing and fun.
