Thomas Wiloch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Wiloch (born February 3, 1953 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American author, editor, poet, and illustrator. According to Bruce Boston, writing in Illumen magazine, Wiloch is "arguably the leading writer of prose poems in the genre field for the last two decades." He was the principal instigator and editor of Grimoire, a journal of surrealistic art and literature published from 1982-1985 that featured some of the earliest published work by the notable American horror writer Thomas Ligotti.
Much of Wiloch's recent published writing is prose poetry, and has appeared in collections from various small press publishers including Naked Snake Press and Wordcraft of Oregon.
Wiloch has illustrated books by authors such as Bruce Boston, Robert Frazier, Andrew Joron, and Jessica Amanda Salmonson. From 1988 to 1993, Wiloch wrote the column "Codes and Chaos" for PhotoStatic, an arts magazine. He was an associate editor of Sidereality magazine, 2004-05.
