Press Release


William Hart is a poet and fiction writer living in Los Angeles. During college and after, he worked in several states at a variety of labor jobs. He then earned a doctorate in English from the University of Southern California and taught college writing courses in LA. Presently he writes books and produces documentaries with his wife, Bengali filmmaker Jayasri Majumdar Hart.

Hart has published nine poetry collections and two well-received novels. Four poetry collections were haiku, and one of those, Paris, received a Merit Book Award from the Haiku Society of America in 1996. His poems and stories have appeared in several hundred journals, newspapers and anthologies, including most English-language periodicals that publish haiku or tanka. Two feature documentaries from Hartfilms played nationally on PBS and one of them, “Sisters of Selma,” received regional Emmy nominations.
