In 1968, Harry Nilsson released the album Aerial Bullet with a track titled One. In the lyrics, he wrote “one is the loneliest number you’ll ever do.” Harry Nilsson indicated he got the inspiration when he called a friend and got the busy signal going beep, beep, beep. Remember the days when you got a busy signal with no answering machines or voicemail available?

Jeff Gundy, emeritus professor of English at Bluffton University, has held many roles during his writing career: published author, professor, Ohio Poet of the Year and distinguished poet in residence, to name a few. Now, thanks to a grant from an anonymous donor awarded through the Seattle Foundation, Gundy is adding the title “writer in (non) residence” to his vita.
The $93,500 grant funds the position as well as administrative costs for two years. Since the title specifically states (non) residence, research and creative work will also include exploration off campus.
