And by appointment
Dr. Brigitte Byrd specializes in poetry as a genre and performance theory, and particularly postmodern and post-colonial poetic communities and practices such as language-based poetry, performance poetry, gender- and culturally-based poetry.
She is a transnational writer whose work reflects her interest in prose poetry and hybrid genres as well as otherness and/or alienation.
Dr. Byrd teaches creative writing courses and literature courses, both at the graduate and undergraduate level, and she directs creative and scholarly undergraduate and graduate theses in poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction.
