Författare: William Palmer

William Palmer, emeritus professor at The Ohio State University, was born in 1937 and educated in New York City schools, at Harvard, and at The Johns Hopkins University where he earned a doctorate in physics. At Harvard while a physics major he took writing courses from John Hawkes and Albert Guerard. His early works of fiction were published in the Harvard Advocate, Audience, genesis west, and MSS. After Harvard he continued scribbling while in the U.S. Navy for three years where he served as CIC officer and navigator. Literary output persisted as a sideline while in graduate school at Hopkins but was put aside soon after when family and professional career made inroads on his time. In 2004, four years after his retirement, he published a memoir, Blood and Village (Xlibris), about his parents and early life.
