Lacey Jones is a PhD candidate in English and Religious Studies at Yale University and the Humanities in Medicine Fellow at Yale Medical School. Her dissertation, “Breakdown: Modernity’s Metafictions,” takes up the strange case of the word breakdown’s double meaning: physical decay and mental undoing. She is particularly interested in aesthetic movements where the relationship between these forms of decomposition exceeds mere metaphor. You can find her academic work in *Literature and Theology*, her poetry in *Image*, and her fiction in *The Kenyon Review*.
