Will began writing poetry at the age of 12. Despite working a variety of jobs and various “career†paths, Will has consistently returned to writing as an outlet for his soul. In poetry, he enjoys the challenge of evoking emotions using strong, descriptive words in an efficient manner. Drawing inspiration from mountains, Will has spent 39 years in Missoula searching for passion in the beauty of his surroundings. He studied writing under Richard Hugo at the University of Montana. Will derives his greatest inspiration, however, from his children, Malia and Koby. Through them, comes light, love and tremendous joy.
