Bill Black, MFA
Bill grew up a stone’s throw from Scranton before leaving for college. Since then he has earned an MFA in creative writing, published fiction, nonfiction, and book reviews in some of the nation’s leading literary journals, and taught literature and creative writing at several universities, including Western Washington University and Ohio University, before joining the Creative Writing faculty at The Johns Hopkins University. His love for cities, and for Scranton’s revival, has brought him back to the area.
