About Me
editI am an MFA candidate in poetry at BYU (graduation anticipated 2025). I also received a BA in English from BYU in 2022. I am a relatively novice poet, though my work has appeared in Hanging Loose and on poets.org. I am interested in poetry and language generally, but my specific interests focus on contemporary American poetry and linguistic philosophy.
Conflict of Interest Statement
editI am employed by the Harold B. Lee Library at Brigham Young University to edit Wikipedia pages, specifically pages regarding contemporary (20th century and beyond) American poetry. I work under the supervision of Rachel Helps (BYU). I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My father, Trenton Hickman, also works at BYU and publishes scholarship regarding 20th-century American literature and Latinx literature. Additionally, my cousin Jared Hickman works at Johns Hopkins University and publishes on American literature. I have taken workshops from or otherwise worked under Lance Larsen, Kimberly Johnson, Michael Lavers, and Paisley Rekdal.
