Hu is currently an assistant professor of English at the University of Michigan, where he teaches creative writing and co-organizes the Digital Environments Cluster. web  Greenhouses, LighthousesWeaving between the personal and cosmic I, Tung-Hui Hu's lyrics seek the "greenhouse"—a place of saturation, growth—as a poetic space to cultivate new modes through which our common language can once again illuminate and guide—"lighthouse." With minimalism and control,Greenhouses, Lighthouses draws subtly from photography, cinematography, and history to create haunting and memorable connections.
