Highlight:
Will Brewbaker is a third-year PhD student in English. His research focuses on 20th-c. Anglophone poetry, lyric theory, poetry & poetics, and theological poetics. His dissertation will explore how these different strands of inquiry converge in the writings of a cluster of 20th-c. poets.

Having received an MFA from the University of Michigan's Helen Zell Writers' Program, Will has published his own poetry in such journals as the Yale Review, Narrative, Gettysburg Review, TriQuarterly Review, Image, & Washington Square Review. He also reviews books of contemporary poetry regularly for both the Los Angeles Review of Books and On the Seawall.

He holds a BA in English and Political & Social Thought from the University of Virginia, from where he graduated with High Honors. Most recently, he received an MTS from Duke Divinity School, where he wrote a thesis on the pneumatology of Dante's Commedia.
