Department of English Associate Professor Natalie Gerber’s essay, "Global Englishes, Rhyme, and Rap: A Meditation Upon Shifts in Rhythm," which considers the potential impact of the changing rhythms of Global Englishes upon certain rhymes in the hip-hop lyrics of K*naan, appears in the edited collection “On Rhyme” (University of Lieges Press, 2017). Edited by Dr. David Caplan of Ohio Wesleyan University, the collection contains essays on rhyme from international scholars and reflections by poets in the United States, England and Israel.
With Dr. Steven Axelrod of the University of California, Riverside, Dr. Gerber co-edited a special issue (Vol. 41, No. 1) of The Wallace Stevens Journal, "Wallace Stevens and Robert Frost: A Re-Consideration." The volume contains reflections by contemporary American poets and an interview with a former U.S. poet laureate, as well as scholarly essays.
