Current projects: Vergil, Walcott, Antigua
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).
