Paul Warmbier is an essayist and teacher living in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. He has spent the last decade and a half in public schools teaching every level from middle school to university level writing and literature. As an essayist, he focuses on our interaction and experience within nature, looking at how that affects us and our place in the world.

Paul’s first book, Geometry of Fire, was published by Atmosphere Press in August, 2020. The memoir dives into his journey to understand his growth living with PTSD. It is an attempt at how he can understand his experiences from the early days of the Iraq War as a Marine Infantryman.

Paul’s essays have been published in literary journals such as Punctuate, McSweeny’s Internet Tendency, Under the Sun and others as well as the anthology, Travel Writing and Environmental Awareness, edited by Francoise Besson.
