Trisha KannanTrisha Kannan received her PhD in English from the University of Florida in 2011. Her dissertation, The Publics of Emily Dickinson, examines the discursive publics created by Dickinson's texts, including the printed periodical poems, the letters and etter-poems, and the fascicles. Her article, "Not 'me - but a supposed person': Emily Dickinson's Non-Referential Correspondence," appeared in the first volume of Authorship, an international journal exploring historical and discursive settings of authorship. Dr. Kannan left academia in 2013 to pursue a career in writing and editing, and she now owns and operates Concision Matters, an assessment and curriculum development company that serves students and teachers nationwide.
