The Medford Arts Center will present Bill Wunder at Wednesday, March 5 in its on-going poetry reading series. The event will begin at 7 p.m. with a free mini workshop and close with an open mic.
The reading series is in its eighth year of presenting poets at the center. Bill Wunder will be the first reader in 2015. He is the author of two volumes of poetry, “Pointing at the Moon” and “Hands Turning the Earth.” In 2004, he was named Poet Laureate of Bucks County, Pa. His poems have been widely published, and he has twice been nominated for the Pushcart Prize in poetry. Wunder has been a finalist for the T. S. Eliot Prize and the Allen Ginsberg Poetry Award. In 2010, he was nominated for a Pew Fellowship in the Arts. He has read and lectured in local schools, colleges, festivals, bookstores, libraries, and on public television.
A Vietnam veteran, Wunder serves as poetry editor of The Schuylkill Valley Journal, and lives with his two black labs in the wilds of Bucks County.
