R Morris Levine is mostly an essayist. He studies twentieth-century experimental writing: the attempts by novelists, poets, critics, and artists to find deviant forms and deform language. He is a second-year doctoral student in the Graduate Program in Literature, with certificates in African & African American Studies and Gender, Sexuality & Feminist Studies; a member of the editorial collective of Women & Performance: A Journal of Feminist Theory; and, from 2018 to 2024, was the editor of Zolo (zolo.press), a publisher of books by artists. Levine holds a master’s in Art and the Public Domain from Harvard University, a bachelor’s in Fine Art and Science, Technology, and Society from the University of Pennsylvania, and a certificate from the School of Criticism & Theory at Cornell University.
