Joshua Clover Biography

Joshua Clover is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on December 30, 1962 in Berkeley, California, United States. Joshua Clover (born December 30 1962 at Berkeley, California) is an author and professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of California Davis.

There have been three collections of poems in addition to other shorter pieces that he has received numerous prizes and fellowships. His poems have been anthologized various editions and languages, such as The Norton Introduction to Literature (10th edition in 2009). The themes of his poetry are often the lives of cities and the twilight aspect of modernity in the latter half of the 20th century, specifically the way that it is inextricably linked by the products and pleasures of developed capitalism (especially the enjoyments that are popular songs) and the way we’ll have to sacrifice all the pleasures of life to pursue our own freedom. Judith Butler has written that ” In this brilliant volume, the fragmented world of a late and lost modernity has its own moving and lucid affect, its forms of aliveness.” His work has increasingly focused on directly political struggles as one reviewer observed, “Few books, let alone books of poetry, arrive boasting a blurb from Entertainment Weekly while simultaneously, and aggressively, declaring the attempt to establish a Marxist lyric praxis.” Clover has translated poetry from Dutch and French as well as the book Tarnac A Preparatory Act written of Jean-Marie-Gleize.

Opinion reporting done by Nick Irvin of the California Aggie brought attention to Clover’s past rhetoric with regard to police violence. According to the article, he stated “I think we can all agree that the most effective way to end any violence against officers is the complete and immediate abolition of the police.” It cites now protected tweets of Clover’s as well as a September 17, 2015 SFWeekly interview for “The Write Stuff” column where he was asked, “What’s wrong with society today?” to which his reply was, “People think that cops need to be reformed. They need to be killed.” On November 27, 2014 Clover tweeted, “I am thankful that every living cop will one day be dead, some by their own hand, some by others, too many of old age #letsnotmakemore.” On December 27, 2014, he tweeted, “I mean, it’s easier to shoot cops when their backs are turned, no?” UC Davis spokesperson Andy Fell stated: “The UC Davis administration condemns the statement of Professor Clover to which you refer. It does not reflect our institutional values, and we find it unconscionable that anyone would condone much less appear to advocate murder.” Clover declined to comment on his controversial views, but he did tell CBS13, “On the day that police have as much to fear from literature professors as Black kids do from police, I will definitely have a statement.” He asked that Nick Irvin “direct any further questions to the family of Michael Brown,” a reference to the fatal shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, that fed the Black Lives Matter movement. On March 13, 2019 California State Assemblyman, James Gallagher, delivered 10,000 signed petitions to UC Davis calling for Clover to be fired; Gallagher, who is not from the district including Davis, also introduced a House Resolution calling for Clover’s firing. These efforts failed entirely, with the university noting that “Professor Clover’s statements, although offensive and abhorrent, do not meet the legal requirement for “true threats” that might exempt them from First Amendment protection….Accordingly, the university will not proceed with review or investigation of concerns regarding Professor Clover’s public statements.”

Clover’s three books of scholarly research as well as numerous book chapters and articles have all looked at changes in everyday work, life political, and social struggles from the Sixties. He began by studying poetry, music and film, he has shifted to focus his attention since 2008’s economic crisis specifically on economic and political issues. Fundamental concerns include the variety of transformations caused by deindustrialization within the West, the demise of the United States empire and the future of global capitalism. The particular areas of focus range from the advent of the office to how financialization is transforming and from the post-war world following the collapse of the Soviet project to the evolution of social movements. All being considered in the context of Marxist value theory, with particular concern for racialized systems of power and struggles against capitalist and state power.

The protesters, who became known as the “Davis Dozen,” were charged with “obstructing movement in a public place and conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor.” One month before the trial was scheduled to begin, the Davis Dozen accepted a plea deal from the Yolo County District Attorney.
