Clemens Starck, a 1998 Witter Bynner Fellow and poet-in-residence at Willamette University, has supported his literary and intellectual interests for more than forty years by working with his hands, mainly as a carpenter and construction foreman. A collection of his poems, Journeyman's Wages received both the William Stafford Memorial Poetry Award and the Oregon Book Award in Poetry. A book of verse and prose, Studying Russian on Company Time was also a finalist for the Oregon Book Award. Starck has three grown children and lives with his wife in the foothills of the Coast Range in western Oregon.
