Testimonial:
I love teaching because I love poetry.
What do you like most about teaching/working at Saint Michael's College?
I like the ethos of the college. I find the Edmundite ethos and in general the liberal arts a healthy way of being in the world and a good way for young people to learn to be in the world for the rest of their lives.
What kinds of unique opportunities are available to students in your classes or department?
If a student wants to study literature, this is a very good department. We're the better for understanding through literature how other human beings have lived in the world. In the end, all learning is humility, and students will understand that and it will give them a better chance of understanding the good and bad of life and of adding to society in a positive fashion. We can't overestimate the interconnectedness of things. Literature shows us how to see our own uniqueness, to take off the mundane goggles, to see that no matter how small we are, we're important.
