We are delighted to welcome our new Assistant Professor of English, Dr. Becca Klaver!
Dr. Klaver earned her Ph.D. at Rutgers University, and her research focuses on poetry writing, feminist poetics, and post-1945 avant garde literary movements.
She writes that she, “can’t wait to teach in JMU’s popular Creative Writing minor, which brings together students from different majors. In my experience, a room full of writers with a variety of interests and backgrounds leads to rich, lively conversations where perspectives interweave and creativity blooms.”
Want to work with Dr. Klaver? Then enroll in her ENG 392: Intro to Creative Writing – Poetry course for the Fall ’26 semester!
