He holds the position of William Shakespeare Professor of English at Rice University and serves as the Director of the Center for Environmental Studies. His scholarly work emphasizes the poetics, aesthetics, and forms of early modern poetry, with particular attention to themes such as pain, gender and sexuality, iconoclasm, childhood, natural history, and the environment. Campana has published extensively in academic journals and is the author of books including The Pain of Reformation: Spenser, Vulnerability, and the Ethics of Masculinity and co-editor of volumes on Renaissance posthumanism and insect life. He is also a poet with three collections, including The Book of Faces, Natural Selections, which received the Iowa Poetry Prize, and The Book of Life.
