He has earned degrees from The New School for Social Research (B.A. 1963), Georgetown University (M.A. 1965), and the University of Maryland (PhD 1971). Professor of English at the United States Naval Academy where he has taught since 1973, his fifteen books include several contributions to understanding the literature of war. These are Fourteen Landing Zones: Approaches to Vietnam War Literature (1991), The Vietnam War in Literature: An Annotated Bibliography of Criticism (1992), Retrieving Bones: Stories and Poems of the Korean War (co-edited with W. D. Ehrhart, 1999), and Acts and Shadows: The Vietnam War in American Literary Culture (2000). He is also co-editor of the Encyclopedia of American War Literature, soon to be published by Greenwood Press. Prof. Jason has written extensively on American poetry and has edited several volumes of poetry and literary criticism, including The Critical Response to Anais Nin (1996). A widely-published poet, Dr. Jason was executive editor of Poet Lore from 1979-1998. Now semi-retired, he spends most of the year in Naples, Florida, but returns to Annapolis late each summer for fall semester teaching duties.
