Jeff Dolven finished a book of poems during his residency, Speculative Music (Sarabande, 2013). Another book is in the works, and his poems have been appearing in magazines and journals meanwhile. He has collaborated with the composers Dmitri Tymoczko and Majel Connery on songs and opera.
Dolven also teaches poetry and poetics, especially of the English Renaissance, at Princeton University, and has three books of criticism to his name, Scenes of Instruction (Chicago 2007), Senses of Style (Chicago 2018), and the admittedly hasty Take Care (Cabinet 2017), as well as essays on a variety of subjects, including Renaissance metrics, Shakespeare’s reading, Fairfield Porter, and player pianos. He is an editor-at-large at Cabinet magazine, and was the founding director of Princeton’s Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in the Humanities (IHUM).
