Ciru is a 3rd year PhD student in the English department. Her research focuses on nation language poetics, Anglo-Caribbean creoles, meter, and prosody. Her project aims to develop ways of thinking through form within and in excess of the “sound explosion” of midcentury West Indian poetics. She is very familiar with a broad range of critical theory, literary and otherwise. Moreover, Ciru is a dedicated peer reviewer and editor with a firm grasp of the elements of good, clear writing.
