This Landscapes Fierce Embrace

Donna L. Potts is a Professor at Washington State University, after having taught at Kansas State University for twenty-two years. She held a Fulbright lecturing award at the National University of Ireland in Galway from 1997 to 1998; returned there on sabbatical 2004-05; and again in 2011, for a fellowship in the Centre for Irish Studies. Her fellowship permitted her to travel to Donegal to interview Francis Harvey, and, with the support of the Centre, she began research and an edited collection on Harvey. In addition to many articles on Irish poetry, she has written books on poetry, including Howard Nemerov and Objective Idealism: The Influence of Owen Barfield (Missouri 1992) and Contemporary Irish Poetry and the Pastoral Tradition (Missouri 2011), as well as a book of poetry, Waking Dreams (Salmon 2012).
