Joy, Fordham Alumnus, Publishes Poetry Collection

Chuck Joy graduated from Fordham College at Rose Hill in 1973 with a degree in sociology. Today, he is a child psychiatrist with a passion for poetry living in Erie, Pennsylvania. His newest publication is Said the Growling Dog, a collection of new and selected poems from Nirala Publications (New Delhi, India).

The poems featured in Said the Growling Dog transport the reader from Erie and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to the White House, Monument Valley, and of course, the Bronx. Joy's experience at Fordham College has inspired more than setting. "A Piece Of His Heart," which is featured in his recent collection, "recalls an exact moment and life after college."

Said the Growling Dog is Joy's fourth published collection of poetry. Every Tiger Wants To Sing (Poets' Hall Press, Erie PA) and is a chapbook and All Smooth (Destitute Press, Buffalo NY) is a chapbook. In addition to writing poetry, Joy also produces theatrical literary events, has read and published his poetry both in the United States and abroad.
