He is a published scholar, poet, critic, and journalist. He has appeared in three editions of Best American Poetry and two times in Best Music Writing, and has received an individual grant from the NEA as well as fellowships from the Cornell Society for the Humanities, The University of California Humanities Research Institute, and Institute of Advanced Study, University of Warwick. His first book of poetry, Madonna anno domini, received the Walt Whitman Award from the Academy of American Poets in 1996.[1] LifeBorn in Berkeley, CA, a graduate of Boston University and the Iowa Writers' Workshop, Clover is a Professor of English Literature and Critical Theory at the University of California, Davis, and was the distinguished Holloway poet-in-residence at the University of California, Berkeley in 2002-2003.[2] He writes a column on politics and popular culture, "Pop and Circumstance," for The Nation. He has written columns for Film Quarterly, under the title "Marx and Coca-Cola," and is a former senior writer and editor at the Village Voice. has contributed to The New York Times, The Nation, and the Los Angeles Review of Books, and is a former senior writer for Spin. His film criticism includes a book on The Matrix for the British Film Institute, and the Criterion Collection essays for Band of Outsiders and Straw Dogs. Under the pseudonym "Jane Dark," Clover contributed to a number of film and music reviews for various outlets. In January 2012, he and eleven students at the University of California, Davis, engaged in a sit-in to protest the financial arrangements between U.S. Bank and the university. The protesters, who became known as the "Davis Dozen," were charged with "obstructing movement in a public place and conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor."[3] One month before the trial was scheduled to begin, the Davis Dozen accepted a plea deal from the Yolo County District Attorney. Under the terms of that agreement, the protesters received an infraction notice ticket and agreed to perform 80 hours of community service.[4] Clover's given name at birth was Joshua Miller Kaplan but via legal change he took his mother's maiden name. His mother, Carol J. Clover, is the originator of the final girl theory in a book on horror films and a professor emerita at the University of California at Berkeley. ControversyOpinion reporting done by Nick Irvin of the California Aggie brought attention to Clover's past rhetoric with regard to police violence.[5] 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."[6] 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?”[7] UC Davis condemned Clover's statements with university spokesperson Andy Fell stating: "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.[8] On March 13, 2019 California State Assemblyman, James Gallagher, delivered 10,000 signed petitions to UC Davis calling for Clover to be fired. Clover's comments have also resulted in some past donors refusing to donate any more money to UC Davis untill Clover is fired.https://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2019/03/13/petition-fire-uc-davis-professor/amp/ Works
