Since completing a PhD at the University of Minnesota in 2007, Robert Stark has lectured on modern poetry, literature, and critical theory throughout the world. His professional absorption in the field of poetry and poetics now extends to four or five reasonably distinct ways of knowing: including original composition, interpretation, historical exegesis, the editorial establishment of poetic texts, and the classroom promulgation of literature. His scholarship focuses on the margins of modernism, and on the ways in which writers, and poets especially, use other writing (especially verse) to make sense.
