Reader-Response

    I like to explore how a text reflects the experience, beliefs, and understandings of its reader. I will move through a text carefully and slowly, describing the response of an informed reader at various points, and I'll note changes in response. I will describe my own responses to the text, using evidence and explanation. I also ask you to describe your response to the text. I usually react to the text as a whole, expressing the subjective and personal response it engenders.

    I specialize in personal reflection, subjective interpretation, and reader-response criticism.

    My simple pleasures

    I find joy in the simple act of reading and reflecting. There's something deeply satisfying about immersing myself in a text and allowing it to evoke emotions, thoughts, and memories. I also enjoy engaging in discussions about literature and hearing about other people's interpretations and experiences.
