Protecting the Unvarnished Word With Frank Weber

Writer Frank Weber sits down with Washington Square Review editor Melissa Ford Lucken. A former labor relations manager whose time spent doing technical writing sparked an unexpected turn toward creative writing, Weber describes how, upon retirement, he felt the absence of words and recounts how he now writes and publishes across every genre. He writes for himself and rarely revises, because once a piece is done, he's done.Frank Weber’s poem, Such a Thick Hide, appears in the Summer 2026 issue of the Washington Square Review.Frank’s websiteFrank’s email: tfw34789@gmail_________________________Website: Washington Square Review Melissa's Website: Adventures in MFALandFacebook: Melissa Ford LuckenInstagram: Melissa Ford LuckenRelated Podcast: Off the Page: From Ink to Air
