About Me

Norma Margaret
Born and raised in Pawtucket ,I attended Saint Xavier Academy in Providence with the help of a full scholarship. My parents represent the fusion of two strains of Pawtucket and Rhode Island history, My father, Norman Jenckes, a 10th generation Rhode Islander, could trace his lineage directly back to the founder of Pawtucket, Joseph Jenks. My mother, Margaret Coleman, was born of Irish immigrants from County Tyrone, traditionally eel fishermen from Ardboe, and she could trace her lineage back to Saint Colmain who erected the high cross that still stands there and even earlier thousands of years to the early Mercian fishermen on the Banks of Lough Neagh. Norman and Margaret made an interesting and lively pair as they also personified the Yankee-Irish/ Protestant-Catholic split in RI and New England identity. After completing college , I went to the University of Illinois where I earned my Master's degree and Doctor's degree in Literature .Returning to RI , I taught for 15 years at Bryant University. In 1984 I joined the English faculty at the University of Cincinnati.GO BEARCATS!
