Daniel C. Remein serves as Associate Professor of English in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Massachusetts Boston. His academic work bridges medieval studies and twentieth-century avant-garde movements through comparative poetics.
His educational background includes a PhD in English from New York University, an MFA in Poetry from the University of Pittsburgh, and a BA in English and French from Baldwin-Wallace College.
Remein's research explores intersections of aesthetics, sensation phenomenology, and ecocriticism across historical periods. His work particularly examines Old English literature, Icelandic Sagas, and History of the English Language through frameworks of translation and avant-garde poetics. He investigates how medieval texts engage with ecological concerns and sensory experiences, connecting these to modernist and postmodernist experimental traditions.
His publication portfolio reveals consistent engagement with Beowulf studies, Jack Spicer scholarship, and material ecopoetics. Key thematic threads include grail mythology reinterpretations, thermal aesthetics in medieval manuscripts, and colonial ecocritical readings of Norse literature. The corpus demonstrates methodological innovation through para-narrative theory and sensory phenomenology applied to premodern texts.
Remein has co-founded significant academic initiatives including the Organism for Poetic Research at NYU and served as editor for Pelt, Eth Press, and Whiskey & Fox. He organized the Inaugural IONA Conference at the University of Denver in 2016.
His teaching portfolio spans medieval literature, creative writing, and advanced poetics courses including ENGL 631: Post/Medieval Poetics and ENGL 601: Poetry of the Berkeley Renaissance. He directs specialized seminars on Icelandic Sagas and Ornament Studies.
