Baron Wormser is the former Poet Laureate of the state of Maine. He is the author of seven books of
poetry, the most recent of which is Impenitent Notes (Cavankerry
Press, 2010). Also of note is Teaching the Art of Poetry,
which helps address the topic of poetry whether you are a classroom teacher, a person who writes poetry, or someone who wants to better
understand poetry. 
While managing to maintain an active writing life, he worked as a high school librarian in Madison, Maine, for twenty-five years. Here, he also had the opportunity to
teach creative writing to high school students. Over the past
dozen years he has taught poetry writing at the University of Maine at Farmington, the University of South Dakota, and at
the Frost Place in Franconia, NH. He also has worked extensively with individual students and in many school
settings. As someone whose life has been greatly enriched by poetry, he is committed to helping others access poetry's remarkable heritage.
