Jack Straw SoundPages

Rich in detail, including period vocabulary, Bill Carty‘s poems are authentic and engaging.  The retelling of a duel in his hometown of Thomaston, Maine evokes the image of a painting from the era. His writing illustrates history with a timeless and gracious style. 

Carty lives in Seattle and teaches at Edmonds Community College. He shares a birthday and initials with our 42nd president, and his poetry has previously appeared in the New Orleans Review and Blue Mesa Review.
