| Alexander Long | 2006 | PhD in English Literature & Creative Writing | https://www.english.udel.edu/Images Profile Alumnus/ALUM_Long-Alexander_180.jpg | Assistant Professor of English, CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice | <p>An assistant professor of English at CUNY, John Jay College, Dr. Long has published three books of poems, the latest of which, <em>Still Life</em>, won the White Pine Press Poetry Prize in 2011. His work appears in <em>AGNI</em>, <em>The American Poetry Review</em>, <em>Blackbird</em>, <em>Callaloo</em>, and <em>The Southern Review</em>, among others. Long has received grants, fellowships, scholarships, & residencies from Pennsylvania Council of the Arts, Prague Summer Seminars, & The Vermont Studio Center.?</p>
<p>he UD Department of English, practically, landed him a tenure-track job in Manhattan; metaphysically, it offered him a life with meaning. Long took the ?straight ahead? track of the PhD, which forced him to read, write, and think like a scholar, not like the ?creative? writer his previous degrees demanded. More importantly, Long?s career lays bare the false distinction between ?scholarly? and ?creative? pursuits. His belief, and practice, are simple: one reads and writes?every day?or one doesn?t.</p> | https://www.english.udel.edu/Images Profile Alumnus/Forms/DispForm.aspx?ID=20 | |
