Bill Schulz lives in Maine, not far from the farm where his ancestors settled in the late 1700s. He received a Master’s degree from the poetry program working with Charles Simic at The University of New Hampshire in 1976 and a Master’s in Theological Studies from The Franciscan School of Theology in Berkeley, CA 30 years later.
He is the founder and editor of The Hole In The Head Review www.holeintheheadreview.com. His work has appeared in many journals in the past four decades. He is the author of Dog or Wolf, a collection of poems published by Nine Mile Books in 2022. Of Dog or Wolf, poet Jim Crenner wrote: “Given that one of Bill Schulz’s keenest subjects is loss–the ongoing subtraction of of people we’ve loved, places we’ve lived, moments when life has ensorcelled us–his poems are nonetheless remarkably joyful. And given that signature feature of his style is a Zen-like kind of exacting minimalism, the poems nevertheless abound with creatures and charms of the natural world. Reading Schulz is a bit like hiking the narrow road to the deep north with Basho at your left ear and Wallace Stevens at your right. It’s a trip you do not want to miss!”
