Bill Black is a North Carolinian, leaving when he entered the Army. He has written and edited scripts, newsletters, educational programs and technical articles for both limited circulation use and general audiences. He has lectured on aspects of public presentations for performers and fundraisers. Bill has performed as a magician, poet/storyteller and MC for shows throughout this country and over a dozen around the world. Due to his dedication to the sound of poetry, he recorded three CDs of the poems he used in his shows. Since 2011, his works have appeared in two anthologies and four prior collections of his own work. For the insatiably curious, Bill graduated from North Carolina State University. He was then commissioned as a 2nd LT in the U. S. Army and received an Honorable Discharge. He was employed continuously enough to pay his bar bills and related research costs. Bill credits the internet and current social media for his ability to move from a locally ignored poet to one who is internationally ignored. He is under consideration for assuming the role of William Topaz McGonagall in the world of poetry. See less
