Assistant Professor C.R. Grimmer has recently published six poems in A Dozen Nothing, each from a new book project exploring queer, femme, and non-binary love through "master texts."

C.R. has also recently published a chapter from their forthcoming book, The Poetry Vlog: Critical Edition. The chapter, “The Poetry Vlog: YouTubing, Interviewing, & Going “Live” in the Classroom,” was included in an online multimedia special issue of Interdisciplinary Digital Engagement in Arts & Humanities (IDEAH), which is “a peer-reviewed, online, open access journal committed to publishing digital humanities research.” The chapter explores ecocriticism and public scholarship through mixed media poetry interviews.

Additionally, C.R. has created two sound pieces, featuring work from their audiobook, O–(ezekiel's wife), which explore the relationship between wild fires, climate change, and LGTBQIA+ histories. One, "Love Technique," is part of the new sound garden “gallery” at the Seattle Convention Center in Seattle, Washington, curated and sponsored by the Jack Straw Cultural Center. The other, "Boylesque,” is featured at USU’s Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art.

C. R. is a poet, public scholar, and teacher. Their books include The Lyme Letters (Texas Tech University Press, Winner of the Walt McDonald First Book Award), O–(ezekiel's wife) (GASHER Journal and Press), and The Poetry Vlog: Critical Edition, forthcoming from the University of Michigan Press. They created and host teaching series such as The Poetry Vlog (TPV), have poems in journals such as Poetry Magazine, Prairie Schooner, FENCE Magazine, and [PANK], and have research in journals such as The Comparatist.
