Biography
Angel’s research seeks to trace the imbrication between temporality studies and disability (and/or madness) studies in contemporary black literature, as well as use black feminist and experimentalist literature as a locus to track and understand sites of recursivity, ruptures, and (non)being. Prior to Brown, they studied fiction at Washington University in St. Louis where they served as a fiction fellow and lecturer. There, they nurtured and blended their creative and scholarly interests through a hybrid prose-poetics.
