Two chapter-length articles written by Natalie Gerber of the English Department faculty have appeared in separate, peer-reviewed journals. The first, "Tracing the Trajectory of a Williams Poem: From the Variable Foot to Triadic-Line Verse," appeared in the annual issue of Paideuma Vol 38. (40 pp.)
The second, "Stevens' Mixed-Breed Versifying and His Adaptations of Blank-Verse Practice," appeared in the Fall 2011 issue of The Wallace Stevens Journal (36 pp.), for which she also serves as associate editor. (The essay was peer-reviewed through a double-blind submission process.)
Dr. Gerber’s research and teaching focus upon 20th-century literature, the English language, poetry and poetics, especially the expressive use of language.
She is the author of the book chapter “Getting the Squiggly Tunes Down on the Page: Williams’ Triadic-Line Verse and American Intonation” in Rigor of Beauty: Essays in Commemoration of William Carlos Williams and has published articles on the relationship between the structure of the English language and the style of 20th-century poets. Dr. Gerber earned her Ph.D. in English from U.C. Berkeley.
She has also helped support national and local poetry endeavors, including the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festivals and Robert Hass’s tenure as U.S. poet laureate
