Professor of English, Ouachita Baptist University
B.A., University of Southern Mississippi
M.A., PhD., University of Arkansas, Fayetteville
For many years, Dr. Wink's passion has been
reading, writing, memorizing, thinking about, and talking about poetry. He has
published one volume of poems, HAUNTING THE WINERUNNER (August House Press) and has had
roughly fifty poems appear in various publications (e.g., THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR,
THE PLAINS POETRY JOURNAL, THE KENTUCKY REVIEW, THE KANSAS QUARTERLY, MOONDANCE, and
CHRISTIANITY IN LITERATURE).
For twenty years, Dr. Wink has done a lot of speaking on the topic of
poetry. He has addressed various branches of the Poets' Roundtable of Arkansas,
sundry Arkansas Arts Councils, and a good many elementary, junior high, and high school
classes. Dr. Wink believes poetry gets a bad press in our culture; therefore,
through his work he strives to reverse that trend.
Dr. Wink is available for both workshop presentations and after-dinner speaking.
