New Work

a poetry collection and two anthologies

​

We Always Wondered What Became of You from Broadstone Books, finalist for the Eric Hoffer Award

 

  • This compelling memoir related in (mostly) prose poems, begins with  “a black-haired, brown-skin boy delivered by a woman with a German name and no explanation at all” surrendered to Saint Joseph’s Foundlings Home and Maternity Hospital in a “foundering hard-coal city” in Pennsylvania. As the narrator moves on, he struggles with issues of belonging and not belonging, of race, and finally, of resolution. 

​

Rivers, Ridges, and Valleys from Catamount Press

 

  • This collection of 27 essays by a variety of writers reflects the variety of experiences found in rural PA. The book is co-edited with AD Stuart. ​

 

Keystone Poetry

​

  • A follow-up to 2005's Common Wealth, this volume features work by  182 poets from every region in the state. The book is co-edited with Marjorie Maddox. ​​

We Always Wondered What Became of  You is a book of secrets, lies, and ghosts. A memoir in prose poems, it spans Wemple's life from the shrouded circumstances of his birth to the present, enacting the author's search for his father and the truth of who he is.
