Kristin Grogan is an Assistant Professor of English at Rutgers University, specializing in poetry and poetics, modernism, and American literature. Her research explores the social and material contexts of literary production, particularly focusing on labor and work in modernist poetry. She joined Rutgers in 2019 and teaches courses such as Modernist Poetry, American Poetry Since 1945, and Literature before Stonewall.
Education includes a DPhil from the University of Oxford (as a Clarendon Scholar) and a Junior Research Fellowship at St. Catharine’s College, Cambridge. Her forthcoming book Stitch, Unstitch: Modernist Poetry and the World of Work (Columbia UP, 2025) challenges dominant narratives of modernism by examining its entanglement with labor and economic systems.
Her scholarship appears in American Literary History, American Literature, and Critical Quarterly, with essays analyzing poets like Langston Hughes, Ezra Pound, and Gertrude Stein. She co-edits special issues on poets Bernadette Mayer and Laura Riding, and her public-facing writing includes reviews for Los Angeles Review of Books.
Grogan has received awards for teaching and research excellence, including the SAS Distinguished Contributions to Undergraduate Education Award and a Faculty Fellowship at the Center for Cultural Analysis. Current projects include a book on Sylvia Plath’s Ariel and research on poetry’s relationship to opacity and resistance.
