William S. Kilborne has been writing poetry, mostly light verse, ever since he was an editor of The Yale Record. He has had over fifty song lyrics published in musicals; he believes that Stephen Sondheim is our greatest living poet. He has been most influenced by Emily Dickenson, Robert Frost, Ogden Nash, Edna St. Vincent Millay, A.E. Houseman, and Edwin Arlington Robinson. No living poets make this list. Kilborne has also made his mark as a playwright: eight of his plays have been published by houses like Samuel French, Pioneer Drama Service, Norman Maine Press and The Players Press. He also has a Masters Degree from NYU. His text, The Writing Guide, has sold over 2000 copies; he has been a guest columnist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram; he has published many articles on education and General Semantics, in little magazines. He has been the president of the Yale Debating Society (never lost a debate); a cook in the Hawaiian National Guard; an educator (department chair and instructor, headmaster) in colleges and prep schools; a professional writer (Bread Loaf Writers Conference), (San Francisco Writers Conference, 2011: non-fiction finalist and poetry runner-up); a Dallas Cowboys fan; a lover of French cuisine and English Bulldogs, a widower, an atheist, and a ping-pong hustler. Still writing. In love. Not dead yet.
