Hi, I'm Tony DeGenaro
I am a Ph.D. student at Wayne State University studying rhetoric & composition. My dissertation, "A Writers-First Principle" explores the intersections of first-year writing & introduction to creative writing instruction.
I also teach composition courses and intro to creative writing at University of Michigan - Dearborn, where I am a LEO Lecturer II. |
I am also an actively publishing & performing poet and youth arts instructor, currently working as a writer-in-residence at two high schools in Detroit for InsideOut and a teaching artist for CityWide Poets.
I am a Youngstown, Ohio native, current Metro Detroit resident, distance runner, baseball & pop culture fan, friend of dogs everywhere and proud doggie dad to Desi the Dachshund. |
