Joseph M. (Joseph Morris) Bachelor

Joseph M. Bachelor, also known as Joseph Morris, was an American author, poet, editor, and educator. He was born near Sharonville, Ohio, and later studied at Miami University and Harvard University, building a career that combined creative writing with teaching and editorial work.

He published poetry and verse collections, and he also edited books intended for students and general readers. His bibliography includes works such as The Book of Friendship Verse, The Book of Mother Verse, Poems of Inspiration, and Current Thinking and Writing, showing both his literary interests and his role in education.

Bachelor is remembered as a versatile man of letters whose writing life moved between poetry, anthologies, and the classroom. Reliable sources located here confirm his identity and career, but I did not find a suitable verified portrait image on the pages checked.
