Melanie Hubbard is a scholar, poet, and teacher. Her scholarly book, Emily Dickinson: Poetics in Context (Cambridge University Press, 2020) has been supported by an NEH Fellowship. She's interested in the connection between emotion and thought. Hubbard's poetry books are We Have With Us Your Sky (Subito, 2012) and Gilbi Winco Swags (Cannibal, 2008); her creative nonfiction has appeared in the Tampa Bay Times. She rejects the dichotomization of analysis and creativity, rationality and embodiment. Inquiry, trying our questions at the limits of language and culture, creates; and creating, or attempting synthesis, is a form of inquiry. Hubbard’s erasure project, Auto-Suggestion for Mothers, is on the back burner while she helps her husband, Mac Miller, research and revise his book about the Ruskin colonies in the U. S.
