William Frank is an author with an extensive list of performances in and around New York City, a classically trained writer with a Master’s Degree in English.

For more than 20 years, he has been blessed to read extensively as part of a tandem with DW Stojek, as a well-received feature speaker and a dynamic contributor to open readings at such venues as the Dodge Poetry Festival, Canio's Books and the Poetry Project at St Mark’s Church.  He was a runner-up for the 2008 Discovery/The Boston Review prize offered by the 92^nd Street Y and his first book of poetry, The Morphine Fawn, is his homage to traditional forms, free narratives, folklore and all festivals big and small.    

His new book, The Encolpia, is a sonnet sequence of spiritual vagrancy, a meditation importuned.
