dominick knowles, ph.d.

I’m a poet and academic worker researching modernist and contemporary poetry of the Americas. My writing has appeared or is forthcoming in Mediations, Viewpoint, Post45 Contemporaries, Modernism/modernity, Bloomsbury Academic, and Amerikastudien, among others.

I am currently NTT faculty in the English, American Studies, and Labor Studies departments at UMass Boston, as well as Professor of Writing and Critical Thinking and the incoming Academic Director at the Clemente Course in the Humanities (Dorchester).

In addition to my academic and creative writing, I’m also the poetry editor of Protean, an online and print magazine that publishes literature, critique, and visual art from an anticapitalist perspective.
