Richard Deming is a poet and a theorist who works on the philosophy of literature. His poems have appeared in such places as Sulfur, Field, Indiana Review, and The Nation, as well as Great American Prose Poems: From Poe to the Present. He is the author of Let's Not Call It Consequence (Shearsman Books), about which Susan Howe has written, "Deming restlessly calculates the split between promised and actual experience. The poems in his impressive new collection balance at an edge of danger syntax can only shadow." Currently a lecturer at Yale University, he is also the author of Listening on All Sides: Toward an Emersonian Ethics of Reading (Stanford University Press). A conversation between Deming and Roberto Tejada on poetics is available as part of the Rust Talks series at http://epc.buffalo.edu/ezines/rust/rustIII.pdf.See his personal website at http://www.phylumpress.com/richarddeming.
