Bill Stocks

Bill was born in Craig, Colorado and is a lifelong resident of Dixon, Wyoming, a tiny hamlet about 45 miles north of Craig. He graduated from Little Snake River Valley High School in 1970, and spent the previous school year 1968-69 as a full scholarship student at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. After graduation, he attended the fall semester 1970-71 at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. From there, he has evolved through many types of work, into a blue collar family man with a kind of existentialist philosophy.
His poetry chapbook: Across the Longing Bridge was published in August of 2007 by Pudding House Publications of Columbus, OH and is available at local bookstores or from his website: http://wyomingpoetry.net

Writer's Block
tonight
the words seem frozen
in amber millennia
golden and translucent
trapped
in cerebral
trans-fixation

human fragments
in vague voice
stripped
from a twisted helix
of transient DNA

writing is
a holy communion
with communication

provoking passion
from passing
inspiration

trying to phrase
the feel
of feeling

bringing to life
the effusion
of living

extracting
a quick release
without ever
fully consummating
this marriage
to the muse
