Finn Bille, charter member and twice board member of CWG, has been an active member the poetry group lead by Helga Kidder since it started. His new collection, The King’s Coin: Danish-American Poems and his Fire Poems, can be purchased at Winder-Binder bookstore on Frazier Avenue in North Chattanooga. Finn has written poetry since his teenage years in Copenhagen. Most of his collections have been self-published, and he will discuss how self-publishing has worked for him. https://finnbille.com/
In a previous lifetime, William Joseph Roberts was an F-15 mechanic and Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force. He has traveled the world and experienced many things in his few years. He has been called a Jack-of-all-trades, a Renaissance man, and an insane squirrel wrangler by his peers during this lifetime. Since his enlistment ended, he has perused careers as an industrial and architectural designer, design engineer, and now, eclectic writer. William Joseph Roberts currently resides in the quaint southern town of Chickamauga, Georgia, with his loving wife, three freaky-smart nerd children, and a small pack of fur babies.
