For Dog Street Journal's November issue, I co-authored an article about my thesis advisor, Brian Castleberry. For this article, I conducted an interview with him, as well as took photographs that also served as his author photos for Harper Collins.
If you’ve ever taken a creative writing class, you may have had the pleasure of meeting Professor Brian Castleberry. For those not in the know, Professor Castleberry is a senior lecturer in the English Department and a recent escapee of Tucker Hall’s basement.
His new office on the third floor of Tucker is a cozy space—so cozy it really only fits him and one other person. (The second interviewer for this article is conveniently blocking the only exit.) But for such a small office, it’s packed with personality unique to Professor Castleberry.
His desk takes up most of one wall, and on it are a couple of books, a water bottle, the normal office acoutremon, and his trusty iMac. Behind said iMac rests a larger-than-life poster of David Bowie—taken from the Heroes album—in a gilt frame, propped at an angle against the wall. On the opposite side of the room is a jam-packed bookshelf, filled with myriad titles ranging from dead writers and historical accounts to contemporary pieces by friends.
