Autorenporträt
WILLIAM BLACK grew up in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and though he left as soon as he was admitted to college, he remained haunted by the area's sometimes grim, melancholy past until he returned from stints in Alabama, the Pacific Northwest, Southern Ohio, and Baltimore to live in Scranton in 2009. His efforts to render the haunting into art have appeared in The Southern Review, Threepenny Review, The Sun Magazine, Crazyhorse, and elsewhere, and been recognized by the Maryland State Council for the Arts. He teaches in the MA in Writing program at Johns Hopkins University.
