Bill's work echoes beloved voices from poetry, poets, history and politics and a new look at nature in an era of climate action, with personal memories and a look into language, love and the ties that bind us together. There's humor, humanism, a music of the earth, a quest for ethical answers in a world titling off its axis. Inspired by Lowell and Bishop, Frank O'Hara and Ashbery, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Philip Levine and Muriel Rukeyser's spirit of questioning and grace.He is the recipient of a 2009 National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in Creative Writing and has published three books of poems, The Man on the Moon (New York University and Persea Presses), Sevastopol: On Photographs of War (Xenos Press, 1997) and North Passage (Clay Street Press, 2019).
