About Me - Ryan O'Shea

Shtick?

Hello! Great to see you here! Welcome! I'm a PhD student (and aspiring academic) with a love of criticism and poetry. Having realised that about every other student has a blog, I thought it was due time for me to start my own. So it goes. 

​

Here you might find:

Articles, poems, reviews, and critical essays.

​

What about?

Research on modernism, masochism, and forms of religious mortification. Articles on literature and film. Poems on a variety of things - most likely around embodied experience.

​

Your Location?

Currently researching at Queen Mary University of London; reading, writing, sleeping, eating.

​
