Bio:
Since the fall of 2000, Herb Kauderer has been teaching writing and literature at Hilbert College. His PhD was focused on popular literature which directly applies to his teaching the junior level literature courses, Detective Fiction and The Literature of Horror. He is also an active member of the Horror Writers of America having authored the poetry chapbooks Ghost Dream of Madmen (2002), Pocket Full of Horror (2017), and Fragments from the Book of the After-Dead (2019). Professor Kauderer also teaches creative writing, and has worked in many areas of that field having co-authored the film Beyond the Mainstream (2013), the play Bad Connections (2002), and having written alone over fifty short stories and flash fictions, and two hundred non-fiction features. He has written over 1,600 published poems including 18 books and chapbooks of poetry. Dr. Kauderer won the 2017 Asimov's Readers' Award for best speculative poem, and the 2008 Ewaipanoma Sonnet Contest. His writing has been nominated for more than forty other awards. His 2016 book The Snowstorm of '14 captured that epic weather event in photos, prose, and poetry. The book reached number one on the Kobo books list of best-selling American poetry.
