My primary field of research in Classical Studies is
ancient Greek and Latin poetry, and my the focus of my
published word has been on the interpretation of the
poetry of the Augustan poets, Horace, Vergil and Ovid.
I also pursue research in contemporary Caribbean
Literature, with special emphasis on the Francophone
and Anglophone literary traditions (particularly the
poetry of the Martinican, Aime Cesaire, and the
St.Lucian, Derek Walcott). My chief current research
project is a monograph on the interplay of ideas in
Vergil's Bucolic verse (Eclogues).
