"The Jesuit review of faith and culture," Nov. 13, 2017-

The first study of the poetics of vocational crisis in Langland, Hoccleve, and Audelay, and many unattributed works, The Clerical Proletariat and the Resurgence of Medieval English Poetry discusses class, meritocracy, the gig economy, precarity, and the breaking of intellectual elites, speaking to both past and present employment urgencies.

Functioning as the marshall of a small and violent town in order to support his family, ex-rancher Borden Chantry investigates a series of murders and comes face-to-face with an outlaw who harbors a desperate need for revenge.

Excerpt from The Poets' Chantry Almost the first Of Father Southwell's cares was to win back the wavering faith of his father and his brother. The former, who had married a Pro testant lady Of the Court, was restored to his birthright by a most eloquent and inimitable epistle from his son. Howsoever, it concludes, after playing upon almost every key Of emotion, the soft gales Of your morning pleasures lulled you into slumbers, however the violent heat Of noon might awake affections, yet now in the Cool and calm Of the evening retire to a Christian rest, and Close up the day Of your life with a clear sunset.
