Bill Yarrow

Bill Yarrow is professor emeritus of English at Joliet Junior College and author of six full-length volumes of poetry including The Vig of Love and Critique of Pure Dreaming. Recently, he’s been working with public-domain paintings, photographs, and designs to construct original collages. He approaches making collages as he approaches writing poems, attending to juxtaposition, pattern, rhythm, novelty, stasis, balance, texture, collision, elegance and surprise. He takes the same creative delight out of making collages as he does from writing poems.
