William Meroney grew up in Milford Mills, Pennsylvania during the 1950s, then a dairy farming community in Chester County. He later earned a Mathematics degree from Haverford College (1966) and a Doctorate in Philosophy from Temple University (1978).
A more than 50-year career in systems analysis and computer applications led him to apply mathematics in many areas of his work, including military operations, energy and electric power systems, and the economic analysis of social and environmental policy.
In his work in philosophy, he initially concentrated in the Philosophy of Science, later developing an interest in the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein. He participated in a series of regional Wittgenstein workshops, begun in 2005 by James Klagge of Virginia Tech University. In 2010 and 2024, he hosted these workshops in Floyd, Virginia.
He has written poems throughout his life and sometimes organized them into short collections. After retiring, he sorted through these collections and began to see them as connecting otherwise disconnected parts of his experiences and bringing them together as a living, breathing whole. This sense of poems as living and breathing came to him when recalling an old conversation with his father, to whom this book is dedicated.
William Meroney now lives with his wife, Frances in the Meadows of Dan community of Floyd County, Virginia, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway.
