Sarah Giragosian is a PhD candidate at the University at Albany-SUNY who specializes in 20th c. North American Poetry and Poetics. Her dissertation argues that a posthumanist critique that draws from ecological processes and evolutionary studies helps to trouble queer theory’s humanist bias as well as its overly neat ties to constructivist readings of subjectivity that exclude biological accounts of being. With this shift in critical mode, she reads the queer dimensions of modernist lyric subjectivity. Recently her article "Repetition and the Honest Signal in Elizabeth Bishop's Poetics," a study of Bishop's biopoetics, was published by "The Association of Ethical Behavior and Evolutionary Biology in Literature Journal."
