William James writes poems and listens to punk rock, not always in that order. He has featured or competed at poetry slams, readings, music venues, and basements in almost every state east of the Mississippi, touring both as a solo artist and in support of musical acts ranging from punk bands to folk artists. When not sleeping in his car (or on a strangers floor), he can be found drinking more coffee than is probably safe, thinking about people he misses, and wishing he was on a train bound for somewhere. He is deeply in love with the city of Pittsburgh.
