J. Peter Moore is a poet and scholar who teaches and writes on U.S. literature and culture, particularly modern and contemporary poetry and poetics, aesthetic theory and African-American literature. He also works in the overlapping fields of material culture and print history, establishing and directing Purdue University’s first letterpress studio, The Print Bay.

As a member of the Honors College, he has been able to develop a number of courses based upon his research on postwar vernacular studies. These include an interdisciplinary writing course on theories of everyday life, a topics course on radical black aesthetics and a letterpress studio practicum on the history of the poetry broadside. Dr. Moore is also the Director of Creative Scholarly Projects in the Honors College, where he advises students on proposing and completing creative projects in fulfillment of capstone degree requirements.
