Dr. VanderMey came to Westmont in 1990. He graduated from Calvin College, earned a master’s degree at the University of Pennsylvania and a Master of Fine Arts at the University of Iowa Writers Workshop, and completed a doctorate at the University of Iowa. He has studied film, Christian clichés, chaos theory, contemporary poetry, and visionary literature and now focuses on writing poetry. Inspired by the way great poets have wrestled with human desire, he explores this topic in class and in his own work. He has published “The College Writer: A Guide to Thinking, Writing and Research,” “God Talk: Triteness and Truth in Christian Clichés,” and poems in numerous publications.
