William Vollrath resides in suburban Chicago, where he has finally found time to focus on writing after paying some dues as a stockbroker, grave digger, ad salesman, English instructor, real estate appraiser, bartender, political activist, father and husband. He hopes sharing his experiences, perceptions, frustrations and joys will be both good therapy for himself and provide some lasting illumination for others.

Bill enjoys doing poetry readings throughout the Chicago area and his poetry has appeared in a number of journals and web sites.
