Jeffrey Dunn reads "The Tyger" by William Blake

Writer, culture critic and teacher Jeffrey Dunn

A poem in praise of a ferocious feline's "fearful symmetry"

Jeffrey Dunn—writer, culture critic, teacher and dyslexic—holds a PhD in Culture Studies and English Literature. For forty years his teaching has integrated natural history, creative writing, DIY publication, film and psychology—all summed up as place-based learning.

His first novel, Dream Fishing the Little Spokane, has been described as “melancholic, irreverent, untamed” (Kirkus Reviews) and “a hoot that goes down easy” (natural historian Jack Nisbet). His interview “A Conversation: Ginsberg on Burroughs” was anthologized in Conversations with Allen Ginsberg (2019) edited by David Stephen Calonne.

More about Jeffrey is available at his website.
