Dr Eve Grubin is the author of Morning Prayer (Sheep Meadow Press), The House of Our
First Loving (Rack Press) and Grief Dialogue (Rack Press). She is a lecturer at NYU in
London and a tutor at the Poetry School. Eve received an AHRC / TECHNE scholarship to
write her PhD thesis (Kingston University): ‘Boat of Letters and the Poetics of Reticence: A
Creative and Critical Thesis’.
In this episode Eve reflects on how, as a professional poet, she came to mastering academic writing within her PhD. She talks about how, even though she was confident as a writer, she experienced challenges to developing her voice within her doctorate and shares some advice for those facing similar struggles.
Eve shares how understanding of the work of the thesis as contributing to a wider conversation within the scholarly community helped her to shift her perspective.
We also discuss the elegance of a well-crafted footnote!
The episode finishes with a top tip about the importance of identity.
