BILL HARRIS
Playwright/Poet/Critic/Novelist
THE CANVASS OF THE BLACK MALE EXPERIENCE
By Carmen Carter
His muse …. the canvass of the black male experience, a story often untold and a people under shadowed. Bill Harris’ lightning rod for his love for writing sparked from his desire to continue a family tradition of storytelling. He was young and innocent without a story to convey and yet was intrigued and reaped the benefits of hearing a real-life story from the beginning to the end. He too wanted to tell stories, pursue a life filled with art formations.
The foundation for his 40 years of literary experience has roots in Cass Tech High School and Highland Park Community College. He earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Wayne State University. Harris is a renowned literary artist whose works as a playwright, poet, critic and novelist have been documented nationwide.
