My biography—The Life and Poetry of Frank Stanford—is due out with the University of Arkansas Press in early 2025. The book is the result of nearly 7 years of research and writing and I hope it will appeal to Stanford fans as well as readers who do not yet know him and his work. Please check in here for updates and developments.

I’m a historian at Texas State University. I’ve written on a wide range of topics, both academically and journalistically, with my work appearing in The Virginia Quarterly Review, The Paris Review online, The New Yorker, and Harper’s. I live in Austin, Texas and, when I’m not teaching, am likely to be in New Orleans.
