Michael Hinds
Dr.

His research students have worked in both poetry studies and more interdisciplinary areas. One successful candidate received their PhD for their intervention in contemporary debates about literature and ecology adequate to the state of the ocean in the 21st century, another successfully defended their thesis on abstraction in contemporary poetics and Charles Altieri. A current student is performing a comparative study of how folklore radicalizes the impact or literature, looking at the work of African-American woman writers in conjunction with stories from the Assam Tea Plantation. Another recent PhD graduate wrote on Bob Dylan and the phenomenon of Late Style, and another recently completed their work on Dermot Healy and pastoral. Other current PhD students are working on the following: Japanese novelist (and translator of American Literature), Haruki Murakami; a PhD by creative practice on the poetics of space; another creative project on the lyric essay and liminality; a PhD thesis on the rise and fall and rise of woman's football and its representation in fiction and film; a comparative study of Patrick Kavanagh and the Bulgarian poet Dimcho Debelyanev.
