À propos de l'auteur

Bruce Noll’s life has always been filled with poetry. As a child he wrote rhymes and memorized other peoples’ verses where he found music and fluency in the sound of words. Born in New York but raised in Minnesota and North Dakota, this son of preacher spent countless hours on the prairies, in woodlands and beside the Mississippi River. In his early twenties he discovered the magic of Whitman’s Leaves of Grass which has had a steadying influence on his life, and in 1970 he created and performed a program, “PURE GRASS . . . an experience with Whitman’s Leaves”. Since then he has performed it in 27 states and five other countries. Many of Noll’s poems have appeared in journals, magazines and anthologies. He has one poetry chapbook, The Gospel Edits (2010) and is the co-editor (with J. Smith & G. Kritsky) of American Entomologist Poet’s Guide to the Orders of Insects (2014). Bruce lives in New Mexico. He and his wife have three children and nine grandchildren. www.brucenoll.com
