All that a University ... can do for us is still but what the first school began doing -- teach us to read. The true University of these days is a Collection of Books.

Thomas Carlyle, THE HERO AS MAN OF LETTERS

Picture
By day I am a faculty member at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, teaching writing, sociology of education, a course on poverty, a course on the millennial generation, an LGBT history course, and a course on Love in the Residential College.
 
After work, I retreat into a world of candlelight and arts & letters. An unashamed bibliophile, my passion and collection spill over into every room of my home: old books with personal histories, bumped corners, mysterious inscriptions, and curious bookplates. And when I'm lucky, tucked between the pages: a faded flower, a calling card, or a scrap of ribbon.
 ​

I also collect tarot decks and Victorian ephemera.
