Christina J. Lambert

Christina J. Lambert earned a BA in history from Hillsdale College and an MA in English Literature from Baylor University, where she is currently a doctoral student. Originally from Temecula, California, she made her way to Waco via the Midwest and dealt with the guilt of transience by writing her master’s thesis on the fiction of Wendell Berry. She is currently writing her dissertation on food and sacrament in twentieth-century poetry and verse drama. Though she dwells in the often-disembodied world of academia, her writing and teaching tries to raise questions related to eating, creation, and the body.
