First Gropings is a collection of poems that were mostly written during the author's years as a student at Revere High, in Revere, MA, during the mid 1920's. Bill kept writing through the early 1930's, struggling in the depths of the Great Depression to get his work published in some of the national periodicals of the day, in order to help support his young family. He was working on a volume of sonnets at the time of his death, which has remained unpublished. {Biography by his grandson, William F. Mulcahy}
