Clarkson University professor of Humanities Joseph Duemer was recently named professor emeritus after 28 years of exemplary service to the university.
Duemer joined the Clarkson faculty as an assistant professor in 1988.
He was granted tenure and promoted to associate professor in 1994, and promoted to full professor in 2001, shortly after completing a year as a Fulbright senior research fellow in Hanoi, Vietnam, according to a press release from Clarkson.
His scholarly and creative interests include contemporary American poetry, translation of Vietnamese poetry, and emerging online literary genres.
He taught courses in creative writing, literature, popular music and Buddhism, the release said.
Duemer received the 2011 Poetry Award from American Literary Review for his poem “Lake Surface Full of Clouds,” which appeared in its spring 2012 edition.
He has published numerous books of poetry, including “The Light of Common Day, Customs, Static and Magical Thinking,” and co-edited “Dog Music: Poetry About Dogs.”
His poems and criticism have appeared in more than 75 literary journals, including New England Review, Antioch Review, American Poetry Review, Quarterly West, The Journal, Iowa Review, Georgia Review, Southern Poetry Review, and Tampa Review.
He is also the former poetry editor of The Wallace Stevens Journal, the release said.
Duemer has participated in academic conferences in the United States and Vietnam, most recently in 2015.
He has remained an active scholar throughout his career, holding fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities for writing and research.
He has served on numerous department and university committees, including two terms as chair of the Faculty Senate.
Duemer is also a regular blogger on topics of general and intellectual interest, and has recently taken up cartooning, according to the release.
He received his master of fine arts degree from the University of Iowa and bachelor of arts in English from the University of Washington at Seattle.
