William Alfred "Bill" Bauer (May 10, 1932 - June 12, 2010) was a U.S.-born Canadian poet and academic.[1]

Life[]

Bauer was born in Portland, Maine, to Virginia and Alfred Bauer. He grew up in Auburn, Maine.[1]

He attended Amherst College, where he earned a B.A. in psychology, and then Wesleyan University in Connecticut, where he earned an M.A. and a teaching degree. At Wesleyan in 1953 he met his future wife, Nancy Luke, whom he married in 1956.[1] [2]


The Bauers moved to Texas in 1956, but returned to Connecticut in 1958. In 1961 Bauer entered the University of North Carolina, where he earned a Ph.D.[1]
