My current research falls into a few main areas: Victorian poetry, especially Hopkins; Victorian literature and religion; nonsense. I co-write the annual review essay on Victorian poetry for The Year's Work in English Studies. I am also interested in modernist poetry, especially the work of David Jones and Basil Bunting.
I am completing a monograph on Hopkins. I am also editing a Forum on Hopkins for Religion & Literature.
