Contact Technologies

We will experiment with electronic communications in this course, given their prevalence in our world today. Students are expected to develop facility with a variety of synchronous and asynchronous applications.

Traditional Office Hours

I am available on Mondays from 12:00 noon to 2:00 pm US EST/EDT through any of the communications technologies listed above. However, students are encouraged to use WebCT internal email for normal, day-to-day class communications. I generally respond to WebCT emails within 48 hours.

Instructor Biography

I began teaching for Armstrong Atlantic State University in Fall 2004. Back in 1992, I was working in a factory helping to operate a paper converting business with my father. Dissatisfied with the work, and needing to make a change, I decided to quit my factory job and start to college. At school, I found a life in journalism. I began writing poetry in 1995, and decided to apply to a writing program to give myself more time to work on my creative writing. I earned a Ph.D. in English from Florida State University.

My first book of poems, Fugue's End won the 2004 Mary Belle Campbell Poetry Book Award, and was published by Birch Brook Press in September, 2004. My most recent book, Back to Cain, was published by The Olive Press in October, 2005. I currently work for one of the premier poetry reviews in the nation, Southern Poetry Review as the managing and layout editor.
