Bio

Dr. Kevin Rahimzadeh has taught in the Department of English at EKU since 1997.   He holds a BSFS in International Relations from Georgetown University and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Renaissance and Medieval Literature from the University of North Carolina.  Nearly all of Dr. Rahimzadeh’s interests involve the word “early”: he teaches Early World Literature, Early British Literature, The Bible and Other Early Middle Eastern Literatures, and various other courses that soon will be lost to the long-ago, such as Shakespeare and John Milton. When an especially professorial mood strikes, one might find him hunched over a stack of yellowing, hand-written lectures, insisting to students that he seldom pays attention to anything written after 1674--which is much the lie but seems to strike him as an odd bit of fun to insist upon.  After many years of great if intermittent effort, he has yet to compose a single decent line of poetry.  “Someday,” he mutters to himself, quill ever to hand.  “Someday…..”
