His earlier books with Bottom Dog include Rhapsody with Dark Matter (2002) and Inquiries (1992). Songs from an Empty Cage: Poetry, Mystery, Anabaptism, and Peace (Cascadia, 2013), and Walker in the Fog: On Mennonite Writing (Cascadia, 2005), winner of the Dale Brown award, are the most recent of his four prose books. His poems and essays have appeared in The Georgia Review, The Sun, Kenyon Review, Crazyhorse, Christian Century, Image, and many other journals. Other grants and lectureships include multiple Ohio Arts Council grants and Pushcart nominations and two C. Henry Smith Peace Lectureships. Gundy is professor of English at Bluffton University in Ohio and director of the Bluffton University Research Center, and spent his last two sabbaticals teaching at LCC International University in Klaipeda, Lithuania (2015) and as a Fulbright lecturer and poet in residence at the University of Salzburg, Austria (2008).
