CREDENTIALS & EXPERIENCE
Ph.D. in English, Brown University:
worked with Robert Scholes---leading theorist of English and Viking editor of James Joyce's Dubliners; produced a 2-volume Dissertation (critical edition & biography) called "definitive," and "required reading" by Early American Literature and Ethnohistory.
*
Assistant Editor of Brown University�s Copper Beech Poetry Press:
work with Kay Ryan's book Flamingo Watching led to her becoming United States Poet Laureate in 2010.
From her letter of January 11 1995: "Wonderful news I've been accumulating. I know you'll be happy, since I know you suffered from my horrible reviews as much as I did…I think you have a right to know. The fact is, if I hadn't had that first conversation with you when you told me you liked my old book, I wouldn't have sent the new manuscript. And then Flamingo Watching wouldn't have been considered for the Lamont Prize, and then the Lamont judge wouldn't have sent my name on to Ingram Merrill, and then I wouldn't be reveling in [the $20,000 I. M. prize] at this very moment. Would you like a cigar? A glass of Mumms? A ride in my speedboat? Name it….If I have a friend, it's you."

Jack,
Now that I'm back at Bentley I'm realizing how much I truly benefited from taking your class and how much I miss you and your unique teaching style. I am finding so many situations in which I can take lessons from your course and apply them to create a positive reflection of myself.
I am taking a history course this semester where almost sixty percent of the course grade is based on in class debates. You can count on me using your debate strategies to win the debates and get the grades. I have saved all of your emails from last year and find myself referencing them all the time when I prepare to go into a meeting or talk in front of a group.
I appreciate all that you did for me last year. I am especially lucky that I was able to take your course in my first year at Bentley. I am hoping that in a couple years, assuming you are still at Bentley, I will be able to meet with you, or at least talk to you on the phone, and get ideas and feedback for job and internship interviews.
In the meantime I plan on stopping in and saying hello after one of your 5:00 classes in the near future. No course I have taken at any point in my life has been even close to as helpful as yours and I hope that you really understand how amazing of a professor, and person, you are.
Never in a million years would I have reached all this new confidence, that I have what it takes to meet any situation, if it weren't for you. I felt a sudden urge to reach out and praise you for the profound impact you have made on my life.
Hope to see you soon,
Steve Spittler
