Remembrancers
Walt Whitman coined “remembrancer” to be a physical token of time-past in time-present, an intimate experience preserved in the vessel of a material object meant to be uncorked and enjoyed by another.

About
Chase Alec Seely is a professor of English at Concordia University Irvine and Vanguard University of Southern California specializing in composition, creative writing, and literary analysis. His teaching experience is expansive, from workshopping doctoral dissertations to delivering full courses to students in primary and secondary school. In addition to teaching, he is also a published author and researcher actively producing written content.
This site serves several functions. It is not only a repository for my creative and scholarly work, but an obligation for my avocation. Since writers will do anything not to write, this site compels me to practice my craft through regular writing; like alarm clocks and exercise, this site is a cleat that secures my day in routine. Beyond the practical, it is opportunity outside of the classroom to share from my portfolio of loved things. These eloquent excerpts or “remembrancers” are daily parcels of eloquence that I’ve stumbled upon in my readings. They incline my mind towards noble, divine, or heady things, and I hope they will have the same effect on you. Lastly this is an opportunity to confer with the broadest of audiences, one that includes students, peers, passionate learners, and life-long researchers.

Robert Frost wrote that the happy life consists in joining one’s vocation and avocation “As my two eyes make one in sight.” This website is an attempt to further lay my studies over my writings to form one sharp and complimentary vision.
