Bill Newby is a long time member of UUCC

Philip Terman, former Director of the Chautauqua Writers Festival, described Bill Newby’s second collection, “Passing Through”, as poetry that “delights, surprises, teaches, and sings … with knowledge and wisdom.”

“Casting”, a third collection, follows in this vein with ninety-four poems on many subjects: aging, community, politics, pandemic life, surgery, art, nature, travel, creativity, and more.

Casting is currently available from Amazon.
