Joyce SutphenFaculty

I teach a range of courses in British Literature and Creative Writing. Though I began as a Shakespearean and continue to write essays on the sonnets and aspects of memory in Shakespeare's plays and poems, I love teaching the Victorian Age and Modern Poetry. Over the last years, I have become very interested in Irish Literature and the London poetry scene; I also enjoy teaching Contemporary Women Poets.

Writing poetry is a special interest of mine; since coming to Gustavus, I have published three volumes of poems and have had poems appear in many journals and anthologies. Recently a small letter-press edition of sonnets (with the clever title of Fourteen Sonnets) was published by Red Dragonfly Press. I am presently helping put final touches on an anthology of Minnesota women poets from the territorial days to the present. My co-editors (Connie Wanek and Thom Tammaro) and I expect the book To Sing Along the Way, to appear by the end of 2006 with New Rivers Press. Presently I am at work on two manuscripts of poems and an essay on form and the line in poetry.
