Assistant professor of English, Dr. Seth Perlow, was awarded the N.E.H. Postdoctoral Fellowship in Poetics by Emory University. It is one of the few postdoctoral fellowships offered specifically to support the study of poetry and poetics.

The fellowship is awarded by the Bill and Carol Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry at Emory University. Perlow will be part of the research community at the Fox Center and will conduct an advanced undergraduate seminar through the Center called “Technologies of Lyric Poetry.”

Additionally, Perlow will have access to the Ramond Danowski Poetry Library and other archival holdings while he is in residence at Emory during the 2014-15 academic year. He will participate in colloquia and present his current work at the Fox Center during this time.

At OSU, Perlow has taught “Poetry and Technology,” “Survey of American Literature II,” “Readings in Poetry,” and “Postmodernism vs. The World.”
