On December 5, 2020, the Distinguished Poets Series from the Poetry Center at PCCC in Paterson will present its final virtual reading for the season featuring Joe Weil.
Joe Weil is the award-winning author of five full-length books of poetry, four chapbooks, and a CD of songs with Vic Ruggerio, leader of the Ska band, the Slackers. Weil has read on NPR and PBS, and, in 2008, a profile on Weil's life was done for NJPBS. He is currently Associate Professor at Binghamton University—SUNY.
His most recent book of poems is The Great Grandmother Light: poems new and selected (NYQ Books), and a collaborative book, West of Home (Blast Press) with his wife, the poet, Emily Vogel. The responsorial section of West of Home was performed in May 2014 at the KGB bar as a play by actors from N.Y.U. Weil lives in Binghamton with his wife and two children, Clare and Gabriel.
