Rebecca Dunham is a contemporary American poet. Her work has been described as post-Confessional and concerns itself with feminist and ecological issues. Dunham's lyric poetry is distinguished by its use of extended poetic sequences, its interrogation of the persona as artifice, as well as grounding itself frequently in accounts of women's lives.
Originally from Maine, Dunham resides in Madison, Wisconsin. She is currently a professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Her poetry has been featured in AGNI, Prairie Schooner, Indiana Review, The Antioch Review, Kenyon Review, and FIELD.[1]
