Biography of Bill Cattey
Bill Cattey has been employed at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology for 17 years as a software engineer after getting his degree in Computer
Engineering from there. Bill is quite sure of himself as an engineer, but is a
little uncomfortable calling himself a poet. He knows he started early with a haiku he
wrote in elementary school, but after that he can find only one additional poem written
before entering MIT.
He attributes that second poem's being published in his high school
literary magazine to be an artifact of them being hungry for copy rather than any literary
value to the work.
Bill, with the aid of a collaborator, has set two of his poems to
music. He hopes to publish his work through more conventional literary channels in
the future. Bill currently publishes all his poetry,
including many works in progress, on a personal web site:
