Biography:

I'm interested Latin literature, ancient scholarship, and the classical tradition and have published on a range of authors and topics from Vergil & Ovid to Renaissance Latin and teaching the Classics. My first book, Ovid in Exile: Power and Poetic Redress in the Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto, appeared in 2009 with Brill, and I have recently begun work on a book-length survey of the history of Latin lexicography or the art of dictionary writing in ancient Rome. I teach a wide range of courses, from classical myth & advanced Greek to Roman elegy & Latin prose composition, and have recently lectured on Lucretius, Cicero, Tibullus, and Seneca. I am now serving as President of the NY Classical Club ( http://www.nyclassicalclub.org/), whose mission it is to promote the study of classical antiquity in the NY metropolitan area.
