I have taught at DU for 28 years.  I have a PhD from Princeton University.  I have published four books, 30 articles and over a hundred book reviews on French and Francophone literature.  I am the Managing Editor of the French Review, the journal of the American Association of Teachers of French. I received an honorary knighthood from the French Government (the "Palmes Academiques") in 1992, and the same year received DU's University Teacher/Scholar of the year award.  In addition to French, I know Italian, Spanish and German and can read Latin and Greek.

I received my PhD from Princeton University. My research is on 20th and 21st century French poets such as Guillaume Apollinaire, René Char, Francis Ponge, and Dominique Fourcade.   I am especially interested in the relation of poetry with the visual arts and with the historical violence of the modern period.  At the moment I am working on a book on poets and painters of the 20th century, and their response to war.  I have published several articles on the collaborations or friendships of poets and painters such as Apollinaire and Picasso or Ponge and Braque. I have been teaching at DU since 1991.

Some of the courses I like to teach:

• Intermediate French
• Introduction à la littérature
• Perspectives sur la Résistance
• Poésie et Histoire
• Littérature de la guerre
• Apollinaire et son temps
• Modern French Poetry in Times of Change (Foundations Class)
• Surrealism and its Margins (CORE class--I have also taught this in French as one of our advanced seminars)
• Occupation and Resistance (CORE class)

I enjoy teaching at all levels.  I  love literature, and with each seminar I teach I enjoy bringing some aspect of my research into the classroom.  I also enjoy teaching the second year language sequence (2001-2002-2100). I see students make so much progress during that year, and I always try to bring up some interesting topics to discuss.
I hope to share some of this connection to literature with my students. I think that whether they plan to become teachers, doctors, actors, musicians, businesspeople, or anything else, I hope that they will always be thinkers, and I know their lives can be enriched by the study of culture, language, and literature.

I received my PhD from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and have been at DU since 1982. My research interest is medieval French literature; I have published two books on medieval poetry and am currently working on fourteenth-century urban drama. I love to teach and enjoy being the undergraduate advisor for the French section. I believe that studying language, culture and literature can make you a better citizen of the world and can even make you a better person. A complete curriculum vitae can be found on the University of Denver Portfolio pages.
Favorite book: Christine de Pizan's La Cité des dames

Ambition: to have a pied à terre in Paris; to be transported to the Middle Ages (preferably not during a plague year) for answers to all those questions to which I currently have to respond « We just don't know.»
