About Me

Casey Dwyer is a pastor, poet, and painter living in Monroe, Wisconsin, along with his blessed wife Danielle. He pastors Lena Free Church in Lena, Illinois, where he relishes in the art of preaching and pastoring saturated in the stories of real people and real places. His poems and essays have been published in several journals, including Clayjar Review, Ekstasis, Rialto Books Review, Ekphrastic Review, and more. At home you’ll find him painting, tending his prairie garden, reading, speaking or singing in broken Italian to his cats, or attempting to fix something that has broken.

If you’d like to listen to his sermons, you can find them here.
