Paul Wiegel is originally from Green Bay but now lives and writes from his home near the Fox River in Berlin, WI. He has been writing and performing on-demand poems as a “street poet” on his 1957 Smith Corona manual typewriter for passersby at art galleries, farmers' markets, and festivals for the past six years.  His poems have appeared in various journals both in print and online, including The English Journal, Hermeneutic Chaos Journal, and Whale Road Review.  He is a past winner of the John Gahagan Poetry Prize and the Lakefly Writers’ Conference poetry award.
