Introduction

[scott wilkerson]

Hello Friends,


My name is Scott Wilkerson, and I am an Assistant Professor of English in 
the Department of  Humanities at the Columbus campus of Georgia Military 
College. I am writing my dissertation on certain open questions in Charles 
Olson's poetics of spatial architectonics. I am interested in the 
logological space of language and the relationship between spatial grammar 
and the structures of representation. I eagerly anticipate forming some good 
scholarly relationships here, and I expect I shall also learn quite a lot 
from the great minds here assembled.

Respectfully,

Scott Wilkerson
Humanities Assistant Professor
Humanities Coordinator
Georgia Military College
Columbus, Georgia
Research Associate,
Halawaukee Studio for the Arts
