Environmentalist & Author: Jim Poyser

Play

He wrote–plays, essays, fiction, even haiku–for years and years until one day he decided he’d never win the National Book Award and gave up writing. Then, with the pandemic on everybody’s mind, an editor read his decades-old novella about a global illness and offered to publish it as a book. Jim Poyser threw in ten short stories and this month saw the release of his first book, “The Actor and Other Stories,” published by Wordpool Press. Poyser was an early participant in the Bloomington Playwrights Project and now serves as executive director of Earth Charter Indiana. This is part 1 of a two-part conversation. Part 2 will air next week.

Host Michael Glab goes one-on-one with Bloomington’s most fascinating people every Thursday at 5:30pm.
