My articles fall into three broad categories: ones dealing with generic and contextual issues of language, poetics and reading; critical and celebratory articles, dealing with specific authors and sometimes quite specific texts; and a category dealing with pedagogic issues of interdisciplinarity.

Some articles can be accessed on the web. You will see the links.
