Peter Miller is a scholar of English-language poetry from Romanticism to the present, with particular interests in sound and rhythm, music, and media studies. At Reed, he teaches Hum 110, Engl 211 (Intro to Poetry), and Eng 366 (Remixing the Canon). His first book, Poetry, Sound, and the Matter of Prosody, 1800-2000, is forthcoming from Oxford University Press. A second book project studies a group of contemporary anglophone poets who have reimagined canonical western texts within global and postcolonial frameworks. A chapter from this project—on the British-Nigerian poet Patience Agbabi’s 2014 remix of Chaucer—recently appeared in English Literary History. Other essays have appeared or are forthcoming in PMLA, Studies in English Literature, Modern Language Quarterly, and Modern Philology. Peter holds a bachelor’s degree in English and cello performance from Goshen College and a Ph.D. in English from the University of Virginia.
