Happy to be a part of this special issue revisiting form edited by Tess McNulty and Laura Chapot. tldr: there are insights from modeling emotional arcs that remain under-theorized in the field. Here I map out the implications for how to rethink close reading and narrative.

Absolutely fantastic panel on “Rereading Generative AI” at #MLA2025. One of the best conversations I’ve heard about AI, copyright, language, & the future of the humanities and university. Highly recommend you check out all their essays in this PMLA special issue: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
