Jack Butler was born in 1944 and moved to Mississippi as a child. He was the son of a
Baptist minister. He graduated from Clinton High School, then earned bachelor’s
degrees in English and mathematics from Central Missouri State College, followed by
an M.F.A. in creative writing from the University of Arkansas. He has published
eight books, including four novels. His books have been printed in sixteen editions,
including one translation in Japanese. He has written nearly 200 poems, many of
which have appeared in such publications as The New
Yorker, The Atlantic and Poetry. His cookbook Jack’s
Skillet: Plain Talk and Some Recipes from a Guy in the Kitchen, was
published in 1997 by Algonquin. He has won a number of prizes and awards, and his
third novel, Living in Little Rock with Miss Little
Rock (Knopf 1993) was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and a PEN/Faulkner
Award.
The Jack Butler Collection includes correspondence, reviews, speeches, honors,
