Logan Esdale’s PhD (2003) is from SUNY Buffalo, where he was in the Poetics Program. Currently he is preparing “Interpersonal Space: Epistolarity and American Writing, 1852-1937” for publication. This book project works with the early 20th-century commentary on letter writing to examine the role of privacy in the creative process, the interplay of sociality and authorship, and the poetics of difference. Two chapters have been published, one in The Emily Dickinson Journal, and the other (on Gertrude Stein and Laura Riding) in the Journal of Modern Literature. He teaches courses on American literature and modern poetry.
