Author Biography
Charles Ghigna, originally from Bayside, New York, relocated to Fort Myers, Florida, at a young age. His passion for writing poetry began in childhood and was encouraged by a high school teacher who urged him to keep a writing journal. Ghigna pursued higher education, earning a BA from Florida Atlantic University in 1967 and an MEd in 1970. He taught English in Fort Myers before moving to Birmingham, Alabama, in 1974, where he taught creative writing and served as poet-in-residence at the Alabama School of Fine Arts. Ghigna's extensive literary career includes publishing poetry in national magazines, writing children's books, and receiving notable awards and nominations. He is affectionately known as "Father Goose" for his engaging school readings. His papers are housed at the De Grummond Children's Literature Collection at the University of Southern Mississippi.
