Joseph Harrington is the author of Things Come On (an amneoir) (Wesleyan Poetry 2011), a mixed-genre work relating the twinned narratives of the Watergate scandal and his mother's cancer, which was a Rumpus magazine Poetry Book Club selection; the chapbook Earth Day Suite (Beard of Bees Press 2010 - available as free PDF); and the critical study Poetry and the Public: The Social Form of Modern US Poetics (Wesleyan UP 2002). His creative work also has appeared in BathHouse, 1913: a journal of forms, Hotel Amerika, No Tell Motel, With+Stand, Otoliths, Fact-Simile, and P-Queue, among others; and he has published articles on modernism, political philosophy, and the cultural history of poetry in the U.S., in journals such as Jacket2, American Literary History, and American Literature. He is currently at work on a four-volume mixed-genre and -media account of his mother's life and times. He teaches at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, USA.
