Chuck Wemple
Chuck Wemple is the current President of Mutabilis. He began writing poetry in a workshop setting while studying geology at the University of Montana in the 1980s. Chuck’s community work includes the creation and support of publishing outlets and reading series, assisting with poetry festivals, and curating and moderating discussion panels. An aspiring fencer and magician, Chuck is currently exploring the intersection of poetry and story with the rules and techniques of magical illusion, and creating new forms based on the rhythms, textures, and actions of fencing and boxing. His latest writing project focus on establishing fictive realities for members of his family tree without any preserved history other than name and when and where they may appear and disappear along his family tree. Chuck lives in Houston, Texas with his wife, the artist and poet Mary Wemple.
