George Life is a sixth-year PhD student. His dissertation examines contemporary US poets’ reimagining of American sociality through a poetics of what he calls disabled translation. Other work includes two manuscripts of poetry, one focused on the racial imaginary of the Anthropocene and the other on John Brown’s Provisional Constitution of 1858. In addition, he is working on a mixed-genre translation project centered around selected couplets from the late poems of Du Fu. Excerpts from these works appear in Hambone, Datableed, Circumference, and elsewhere. A recent article on Dickinson, editorial theory, and the Buffalo Poetics Program appears in The Emily Dickinson Journal.
