WILLIAM SWICK
ASSOCIATE POETRY READER l: VOLUNTEER STAFF
William Swick is an experimental poet and writer. He was inspired to read and then write poetry based upon his years in the field of physical therapy working in the rehabilitation of burn and trauma victims and over a year spent working in a Covid Intensive Care Unit as a way of channeling the inner pain, isolation, tragedies, and triumphs that bind us together as humans. He collates his work into a loose, punk rock ethos-inspired collection called “Tales of Suburban Failure and the Modern Demise.” While not formally published, his work can be found in trash cans, dumpsters, and scrawled on bathroom walls and truck stops from his native rural Pennsylvania to his current home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
