After graduating from Hollins College in Virginia with a MA in Creative Writing in 1964, I published two books of poetry. While earning a Ph.D. from SUNY-Buffalo, I studied with Leslie Fiedler, Robert Creeley, and others. Beginning in 1968, I taught at Queens College, CUNY for forty years. During that time I published books on contemporary American poetry, Marianne Moore, Donald Barthelme, and Gary Snyder, and served as the editor of the Modern Period for the Heath Anthology of American Literature. In 1979, 1993, 1998, and 2001, I was a visiting professor in France, once in Toulouse and three times in Paris. In the Spring of 2006 I was a Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin. In 2009 I published a biography of Alain Locke (U. of Chicago Press), much of which was written while I was at the American Academy. In 2012, I had two books appear: the first full-length biography of Countee Cullen (from U. of Chicago Press), and a volume of Alain Locke's essays (Oxford University Press). My column on the visual arts appears regularly in Salmagundi. My most recent book (March, 2016) is The Capitalist and the Critic: J. P. Morgan, Roger Fry and the Metropolitan Museum of Art u. of Texas Press).
