Casey Charles

After teaching Shakespeare and queer studies at the University of Montana for many years, Casey Charles commutes between Missoula and Palm Springs, California. Most recently his memoir Undetectable has come out from Running Wild Press in 2024, adding his work across genres. He has published two novels, a nonfiction account of the Sharon Kowalski case, a poetry collection, and book of essays on law and film. His writing draws on his experience as an activist, attorney, and outdoorsman.
